Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!

My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Selah

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Selah

Look upon our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Lazy.

"Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy." -R. C. Sproul

SYTYCD :: Top 9 Week :: Routines & Elimination

If you have recorded So You Think You Can Dance and you haven't watched it yet.. DO NOT read any further until after you watch it! If you do read this and I end up spoiling it for you.. you were WARNED.

---

So, I missed the show last night. Thanks for not spoiling it for me friends. :) I did hear that I would want to watch it ASAP though. Now- I know why! :)

Here was my quick notes I made on my phone. I had to watch this in my guest bedroom because it's the only room with a VCR because I do not have a DVR. So my notes are short and sweet.

Adechike- Is it just me or was this just not as great as the judges thought it was PLUS he's getting cocky. Yuck.

Ashley- AMAZING routine! loved it! :) She's growing on me.

Robert- I love Robert but really don't like Sonya. Blek. But Robert.. Guyliner.. Really. You are so cute!

Melinda - I really wanted to like that routine but ekkk bad. She just wasn't sharp and crisp. And the judges basically gave her a death sentence.

Lauren- Cute routine but she's starting to get on my nerves.

Billy- amazing amazing amazing! Love him, love the song, love that routine. I downloaded the song. "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri

Jose- He is so great. Love him. Shocked! He is so fun. Dude did Salsa with Anya and didn't disappear.

Alex- ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Are you kidding ME? AMAZING! I watched that routine like 8 times. I LOVED IT. He just leap frogged my list with that. He is EVERYTHING. Hurry and watch this before they have to take it down. :)
