"I Beat My Body and Make It My Slave"

Can you will away sickness? I am.

"So I find this law at work: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord!" - Romans 7:21-25a

I think this particular bit of Scripture was written just for me. Isn't it amazing how a little bit of Scripture can just pop out at you as if it was either a personal message just for you or it was a memoir written by your own hand?

"We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!" - Dash from The Incredibles. Isn't that just how we see the world? God can perform the biggest miracle in our lives, and all we can see is the negative side. Haha, that was just a thought that came to me. I heart funny movies.

"I'm dead set on living. Haha. Dead set on living." Ogilvy in War of the Worlds.
