162
That is how many times is Psalm 119, synonyms for the Lord's commandments or laws are used. That is amazing. 176 verses, this new-year's-resolution-killer chapter is all about how good the law of the Lord is. Until recently, I really didn't think this. I, like most people, kind of knew that the 10 commandments were something that would be good to do, but never looked to them for happiness. After taking a class on ethics, reading a bit, and looking through the Bible, I am convinced that God did actually give us this law in order to give us life to the full. Interesting then that Jesus said he came that we may have life, and life to the full. Jesus obeyed the law perfectly, and through the substitutionary work of him on the cross, we get this full life that he attained for us, though only in part now, but in full one day someday.

You should go 162 days without updating your blog. That would be awesome. I bet then people would be just as excited about checking in on your blog as they are about the law.
I've checked this blog 162 times and....there....is...no....reason to check it again.
If you wait just another week or so before you post anything, you will have gone a full 2 months without posting anything. That is awesome.
