Actually I can be very practical about things.
You know, things like whether to use a mallet or a tree branch to smash technology that defies me.
"Og not like toaster, toaster ruin bread. Og smash!"
HEHEHEHEHE!
That would pretty much shouts 'practical'....
As long as we're talking about the VERY important things in one's life.
That is fantastic Meg!

I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. Leviticus 26:13
During my basic training in the Army, our drill sergeant worked hard week after week to transform us from a group of slouching civilians into a company of men who stood straight and walked tall. It was not an easy job. When he finally said, Youre looking good! we felt proud of who we were and how we had changed.
That experience came to mind when I read Leviticus 26:13, I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. After 400 years of slavery and hard labor, the people of Israel were burdened and discouraged. But under Moses, God led them out of bondage and put them on the road to a new life of freedom through obedience to Him.
Its a vivid reminder of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Paul wrote: Stand fast . . . in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1).
We dont need to be bowed down with our sin. As we embrace the freedom of righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, we can hold our heads high and keep walking tall.
Sorry I'm late again - was away this weekend and didn't have anything ready for today's post. :(
LOL! In regards to my training as a disciple of Christ Jesus I admit plainly that only Almighty God could do it!
