A note to the wise and not to the squeamish:

The main component of “dustbunnies” is not fur.

It is....

dead skin cells. EYEW!

Yes ... to pass a class, you need to answer the way they want you to instead of what you believe.

Tragic...but if it gets you where you need to be, so be it.

I put it in the same category as the Hebrews plundering the Egyptians on their way to freedom.

Eisogesis of scripture, I know. But we must be wise as serpents as well as innocent as doves.

If you shake a box of paper clips, they will link up.

Even scientists used to think that life simply popped into existence everywhere. It took Pasteur to show them the truth.

Then they did an about-face, theorizing that life couldn’t exist anywhere. (Smacks forehead.)

The obvious point is that it only takes a little bit of contamination, and a little more time, and you’ll have a whole colony of strange looking critters.

Try filling up a box full of Legos made of something edible. Put them under your back porch for three months, and then see how many houses, cars, and trees you have in that box.

I am fine but as per my previous post dad has unfortunately got brain damage and is bed ridden but as I am now married I have someone else to share the load. Will post a few pictures tomorrow.

A Possum’s Pose
Sept 9, 2014

Read: 1 Samuel 28:5-6, 15-20

[The Lord] neither faints nor is weary. —Isaiah 40:28

Bible in a Year:
Proverbs 6-7; 2 Corinthians 2

Possums are known for their ability to play dead. When this happens, the possum’s body wilts, its tongue flops out, and its heart rate declines. After about 15 minutes, the animal revives. Interestingly, animal experts do not believe that possums purposefully play dead to evade predators. They faint involuntarily when they become overwhelmed and anxious!

King Saul had a similar response to danger at the end of his reign. Saul “fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid . . . . And there was no strength in him” (1 Sam. 28:20). He responded this way when the prophet Samuel told him that the Philistines would attack Israel on the next day, and that the Lord was not going to help him. Because Saul’s life had been characterized by disobedience, rashness, and jealousy, God was no longer guiding him (v.16), and his efforts to defend himself and the Israelites would be futile (v.19).

We may be in a place of weakness and despair because of our rebellion or because of the difficulties of life. Although anxiety can steal our strength, God can renew it as we lean on Him (Isa. 40:31). He “neither faints nor is weary” (v.28), and He is willing to reach down and revive us when we can’t take another step.

Jesus, You mean the world to me. You
are my life and my all. I’m thankful for
the strength that You give from day to day.
I know that without You I am nothing.

The secret of peace is to give every anxious care to God.

Amen.

Thankful for the strength He offers.
