I don't read enough. I love to read but I don't do it enough. For the next few weeks or so I am going to use this site mostly as a way for me to work on my discipline of reading my bible. So those of you who don't read your bible everyday or even every week feel free to read the scriptures I will write on here to get your fill too. Whatever

Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have already recieved your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

I took that from the narrated bible. Matthew 5:1-12 and luke 6:20-23, 24-26

I have read the beattitudes many times, I need to meditate on them......
