Well... The summer sure whizzed by. My summer is coming to an end, and tomorrow I'm moving over to Berkeley. This upcoming week is welcome week, and classes begin next monday. I'm going to be bringing all of my stuff to Berkeley tomorrow with my whole family, leaving at about 2 in the afternoon.

On the way we're going to be stopped at the Vacaville outlet stores to do a little last minute shopping. I still don't have a mattress, desk, or chair, but that's not what we're going to look for tomorrow. I'll be getting those things when I have a better idea of what I need.

Devotion notes and thoughts:

1 Kings 2

David gives Solomon instructions on certain things that needed to be dealt with, and Solomon carried them out. Joab, after commanding David's army for so long, is executed by Solomon for the murders he committed to secure his own position.

Isaiah 48

If only you had paid attention to my commands,
your peace would have been like a river,
your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Mark 8

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
