I failed in two attempts at my extra class exams last night i missed by on questions i had to score 75 or above and I 74 each time i guess i am dumber than a box full of rocks as we used to say or dumber than a Hoe handle both are pretty dumb.
I as i might as well laugh over it when i was in school i took my grades serious and hated to fail any test but under school grades I would have squeaked through but if and extra class license was easy to obtain there would be no prestige in having one.
I still want people to pray that by a mircle the miners are alive in Utah but with each passing day it is less likly of them suriving..
The weather is cooled here yes by a whole 1 degree....

Daily Bible Verse - 8/10/2007 - Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
I would hate to think where this world would be with out the Grace of God and Jesus paying the Price for our Sins not his sins but my sins your sins everybody has been bailed out from the wages of sin..
Commentary2:4
mercy .. love. Salvation is for God's glory by putting on display His boundless mercy and love for those who are spiritually dead because of their sinfulness.2:5 when we were dead .. made us alive. Far more than anything else, a spiritually dead person needs to be made alive by God. Salvation brings spiritual life to the dead. The power that raises believers out of death and makes them alive (cf. Rom. 6:1-7) is the same power that energizes every aspect of Christian living (cf. Rom. 6:11-13).MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997).

GRACE
Grace - Favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and in spite of what that person deserves. Grace is one of the key attributes of God. The Lord God is "merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth" (Ex. 34:6). Therefore, grace is almost always associated with mercy, love, compassion, and patience.The theme of grace is especially prominent in the letters of Paul. He sets grace radically over against the law and the works of the law (Rom. 3:24, 28). Paul makes it abundantly clear that salvation is not something that can be earned; it can be received only as a gift of grace (Rom. 4:4). Grace, however, must be accompanied by faith; a person must trust in the mercy and favor of God, even while it is undeserved (Rom. 4:16; Gal. 2:16).
