Those $3 boots.

Went to Myer since their stocktake was on and got a pair of $80 down to $53 and paid $3 since I had a $50 voucher! Huzzah! They look amazing. They are flat knee high lace up black boots with 3 buckles. Oh my oh my.

I may only have 2 scarves and 3 good nail polishes, but tonight I feel like I got 10 new outfits just by getting these boots.

Ahhhhhhh.... *sighs contentedly*

Plus, I made Pa Jeon for lunch tomorrow!

If I could purr right now, I would.

Oratio, Meditatio, Tentatio

Prayer, Meditation, Temptation. So perhaps there are such things as good mistakes, which I am sure Sara Bareilles believes in. Maybe not good mistakes, but not so bad ones. Luther spoke about 3 things that helped him really understand the word of God- Prayer, meditation and yes also temptation. Paul backs him up scripturally on this.

It was uncanny to read more of "sovereign joy" only to come to the point where Luther expresses his beliefs that serious preachers have an obligation to learn Greek. A sign if anything.

Moreover Luther plugs language learning as the scabbard to the sword. I thought- there it is, I always knew language was good for something!

Sara Bareilles- Gravity

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do

I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be.

I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
