"Blessed Are They..."

"Be careful Mrs. Lampert. He wants the money. He's not afraid to kill you too."
These were the words (or something like that) that were interrupted by a knock on my room door. One of my hall mates peaked her head into the room. "Are you coming to Bible study?" she asked.
"No, I'm not," I said, trying to sound sorry, but I really wanted to finish my Carey Grant/Audrey Hepburn movie.
"Oh. Okay," she said. Before she closed the door again, I asked if there was anyone at Bible study. Only four. Feeling a little guilty and sorry for my RA that only four out of fourteen had shown up for Bible study, I agreed to go. It was delightful. I don't hang out with my hall very often, so when I do, it's a very blessed time.
The Scripture for our Bible study was Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." The discussion that followed made me think about my own life and the last time I sincerely hungered and thirsted for Christ and His righteousness. I've been consumed with my own problems lately. How much better my perspective on life would be if I simply switched my focus to that deep desire for righteousness. It was an hour long Bible study around that one verse, so we talked a lot and everyone had really good input. There are a lot of things that I could mention, but the one I already have is what stood out to me the most.
I finished my movie before bed. If you've ever seen Charade, you'll know that it was a pretty intense movie in the dark. I then had to take a shower at midnight and keep my mind away from the images of the three murdered men and the means by which they were killed. I did, however, manage to sleep really well, which I was not expecting.

I haven't been to the ranch in a month, but I did manage to make it out today! I took some pictures. Brandy wasn't quite as cooperative as I I was hoping, but I did manage to get some good ones.
