  1. I’ve never really paid attention to this verse outside of the NIV translation.

    What I can gather:

    1. It pays to be righteous

    2. It pays to pray

    3. It pays to be a righteous wo/man of prayer

    4. It pays to know other righteous wo/men of prayer

    First thoughts that most HS students could gather. I eagerly anticipate your analysis.

    I know – I’m terrible! 🙂 Life got extremely busy – but that’s no excuse. I was thinking about this post today and am wondering if I’ll be able to write anything cogent.

    We’ll see

  3. I’m okay if you don’t, but I would love it if something popped out of your head and onto this site.

    What’s up with Thinklings? I’m assuming it’s all of the Spam junk. Blech.

    You’re probably be up all night fixing it or something . . .
