Reflection on Proverbs 20:1

Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. — Proverbs 20:1 NIV

Bible Verse of the Day - Proverbs 20:1

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. — Proverbs 20:1 KJV

Bible Verse Reflection

Instead of spending millions on advertisements that are brimming with flashing lighting, sexy blondes, speedy cars, and attractive young men like the industry of alcohol does, God plainly states the fact that we are not wise to be enslaved to any thing that makes us appear foolish, which corrodes our passions, and make us vulnerable to temptation.

If your drinking experience has led you to one of these, you should get help from a mature Christian partner who can help you achieve liberation. If you’re not currently bound to these substances, you you should keep those hurt by drug and alcohol abuse in your prayers and fellowship.

My Prayer

Dear Lord, bless those scared by an addiction-related loved one’s grip. Give them the courage to seek help and not stay in silence and solitary. Please awaken their loved one to the realities of their harmful life style. Prepare the people who can assist them on the path to health, recovery, and the freedom you desire to provide them with.

Use us, Your church, as the place of healing and hope for those who have fallen into this devastating trap. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

400

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Adulting

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

290

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Told through Parks & Recreation GIFs

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.

Graduation is coming.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

2. You probably have a fancy internship somewhere.

3. You and your pals are all of a legal age to drink (even the late bloomers).

4. The future... what is that?

5. Apply, interview, rejection, repeat.
