Avengers Assemble damage to New York would cost $160bn, if real
Reporter Ben Child writes:
The damage inflicted on Manhattan by an army of marauding extra-terrestrials and the superpowered defenders of Earth in blockbuster comic book movie Avengers Assemble would cost $160bn to repair, according to US “disaster experts”.
Something I’ve learned as a new 26-year-old: I can’t do this alone.
Phil Wickham’s “Grace” is a good reminder: “I need eyes to be my guide. I need a voice that’s louder than mine. I need hope I need You cause I can’t do this alone.”
I cry every time I listen to this song. It’s a sobering reminder that I’m broken and I can’t fix myself. No amount of superglue can fix me or put me together again. It’s only through God and His grace that I’m alive.
- "Are you not thirsty?" said the Lion.
- "I'm dying of thirst," said Jill.
- "Then drink," said the Lion.
- "May I—could I—would you mind going away while I do?" said Jill.
- The Lion answered this only by a look and a very low growl. . .
- "I daren't come and drink," said Jill.
- "Then you will die of thirst," said the Lion.
- "Oh dear!" said Jill, coming another step nearer. "I suppose I must go, and look for another stream then."
- "There is no other stream," said the Lion.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
“When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Don’t Die Easy, Die Hard
If your living your life in such a way that your worship isn’t costing you anything, your actually dying a lot easier than how Jesus has called you to. Dying to yourself is no easy thing, but it’s the only kind of dying where in the end you survive.
Pick up your cross and follow Christ.

The scene between Katniss and Rue
Was beautiful. I almost cried. Of course, I almost cried when I was reading the same scene in the book.
It reminded me of John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
