Song of the Day: Maroon 5's New CD. ALL OF IT!!!

I am reading Ephesians right now and it is pretty good. Granted, I'm not that far, but I've been watching my church's podcasts and following their lesson. I think listening to someone explain the books of the bible are better, sometimes, than just reading them yourself because you can get more out of it. Makes you think about things that you might not have on your own. The Pastor was saying how Ephesians is about living your best life through Jesus. That some of us are 'surviving' instead of thriving, which I find very true because I feel like I am simply surviving most of the time. What in us makes us feel that living this way is okay? Is it laziness? Ignorance? The belief that things will just come to us? I have really been trying to live a better life recently, and I can see how giving up and reverting to old ways can seem appealing, but we have to put in the hard work to get anything good. I keep trying to remind myself of this whenever I feel like giving up and it helps a lot.
