Grace

Grace is needed in this life and in the life to come. For Christ died for our sins, and rose the third day according to the scriptures. Without the gift that Christ brings to us, we cannot go home to that God who gave us life. Without Christ we would be forever damned to toil in hell. Without Christ we could not sing to His priases and become one with Him and His Father, our Father.

Some would have you believe that we can overcome the blocks of death all by ourselves through works. This is not so, for that would be denying Christ of what He did for us. That would be saying that we can do it all for ourselves and we wouldn't need a Savior. That is not the case.

The Bible clearly states that we are to be saved through grace not of works. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
