I don't dare to open the bottle containing my wisdom teeth. I know fully well how bad it'll smell after 3 days. Wait...is that...condensation? Lol. Gross.

Why am I still keeping them? No idea actually. I just haven't gotten down to throwing them away. I actually told my dentist that I didn't want them but he somehow persuaded me to bring them home. Maybe his secret storeroom of extracted teeth is full. Anyway. It doesn't matter. I'm also curious to see what happens to teeth when you separate them from your body for an extended period time.

Everyday, the reminder - Seek first the kingdom of God

It's so easy to say that honoring God involves sacrifice but I always forget that it's not a sacrifice unless it's something of personal value. Giving during the offertory? Never a problem for me since I've had the fortune/misfortune to be born to parents that will never let me go hungry, no matter how our family finances are doing. Time? I've got lots of it. I can even spend an entire work day reading His Word and nobody can fault me for not working. In fact, despite my ridiculous buying habits, it's not these luxuries that I particularly value, and if God says to give those up, I'd probably do so without so much as a blink. No, surprisingly the things I value are things that are for the most part beyond my control. What if God wants me to give those up? Interesting thought there.

What have I sacrificed to God recently? I don't know.
