Bible Quote for February 8
Kill Brats
"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces." (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)

The Soldier in Need
=
A few years ago, upon entering a chat room on the web, a
message popped up on my screen: "Anyone want to chat with a
soldier in Iraq?"
My fingers leapt to the keyboard. "Sure!" We began a
friendship that night. We contacted each other often. We
exchanged photos. We kept each other company through our
respective New Year's Eves. At one point, during one of our
many conversations, his end was cut short.
For three long days I tried to contact him. When we finally
connected, he explained that his camp had been bombed. Several
people were injured but he was ok. There had been no warning
except for the "thump" he had heard not far from his tent. It
was a type of explosive that landed quietly and detonated with
no warning, but as he was in his tent chatting with me, he had
heard the bomb land. I'm not familiar with the various types
of bombs, so I hope I've described this correctly.
A couple of months later, he sent me a friendship ring.
It's called a "puzzle ring" and although it can be seen in
North America, he explained to me it's funny origin:
Apparently men in the east would buy their wives these rings,
with each one having its own solution. Only the husbands would
know how to solve the puzzle. We had a few laughs, and I wore
the ring with pride.
Well, the time came for him to return to his wife and family,
and we just stopped chatting.
It wasn't until late November 2007, almost three years later,
that I came across that ring there in my jewelry box. I put it
on, said "Hi James" and I asked God, "Why didn't he keep in
touch, God? Was he worried his wife would think we were more
than friends? Obviously we weren't. What happened?"
The strangest thing happened at that moment. I heard a voice
from somewhere in my head, and not my voice either, which
really spooked me, say, "Because he only needed you then."
I thought for a moment, "Yes, that's it! God always has a need
for us! We always have a purpose! You will always be needed by
someone somewhere, but you won't always know where or when.
God will always need us for something, somewhere, sometime.
I now wear that ring, and when I find myself asking God,
"What's my purpose in life? Why am I here?" I look at that ring
and remember: God needs me, He just doesn't always let me know
where or when.
Thank you James of Washington, D.C. I hope you and your family
are well. God Bless.

Bible Quote for February 9
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

Miracles
Miracles happen anytime, anywhere, and in any situation.
They are big and small,
...but always grand when you know where to look.

God is Illogical
[In response to the question of why the apocalypse did not occur during the apostles lifetimes as Jesus had predicted] "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day." (2 Peter 3:8 NAB)
Not only is this an obvious logical fallacy, it also ignores the fact that Jesus did not give a date that the apocalypse would occur. He said that it would occur during the lifetime of the apostles. Equating a day with a thousand years does not fix Jesus' false prediction in Luke 9:27 and many other places.

Peter Kills Two People
"There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. He brought part of the money to the apostles, but he claimed it was the full amount. His wife had agreed to this deception. Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to God." As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. Then some young men wrapped him in a sheet and took him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?" "Yes," she replied, "that was the price." And Peter said, "How could the two of you even think of doing a thing like this – conspiring together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Just outside that door are the young men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out, too." Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear gripped the entire church and all others who heard what had happened." (Acts 5:1-11 NLT)

God Admits He Did Evil Things
[The prophet Jeremiah speaking] "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to offer your prayer: If you remain quietly in this land I will build you up, and not tear you down; I will plant you, not uproot you; for I regret the evil I have done you." (Jeremiah 42:9-10 NAB)

. . . until the flowers
I am a runner.
I have several circular routes measured from my home.
If I decide to run 3, 4, 5 or 7 miles, each run always ends at
one particular spot.
A few houses down from mine is a home with a beautiful flower
arrangement near the mailbox. The arrangement is as ornate and
as cultured as if a master gardener extended his hand and
delicately shaped each flower, bush, stem, and blade of grass.
I have never seen any flower arrangement as pretty in a yard.
That's the point.
That's the point that marks the end of my run.
. . . until the flowers.
No matter how long or short the run, I have one goal in mind.
Keep running until I get to the flowers.
Life should be like that.
Keep running until you get to the flowers.
We typically receive the largest number of flowers when our
lives are over.
We get the most flowers in our lives at our funeral.
Those flowers don't do you any good.
As far as I know, you can neither see nor smell them.
My neighbors' flowers help give me encouragement and strength to
run through this life.
On a recent run, I was thinking about those beautiful bundles of
encouragement and had decided to write a MountainWings issue
about them. Oddly enough, for the first time, the couple was in
the yard working on the flowers as I ended my run.
I ran by their yard, I had almost reached the flowers.
It was a hot sunny day and they could tell by the swelter and
sweat that I had been on a grueling run.
The wife spoke, "Could I get you a glass of water or something?"
she asked.
"No thanks, " I answered.
She didn't realize what they had given me already.
They had given me the flowers.
People who give you flowers for no reason show their giving
natures in many ways.
Most people in the neighborhood probably couldn't tell you about
my neighbors' flowers. They are probably too busy to see them.
They probably see all of the other stuff.
There is much disarray along the run.
There are many weeds and bare branches.
There is trash thrown from cars reflecting people's disregard
for others,
. . . and then, there's the flowers.
So it is in life.
Keep your mind on the flowers even when you can't see them.
You can plant flowers.
Not only the physical kind, but also flowers of the spirit.
You need to picture the beautiful flowers that await you at the
end of your run.
The flowers that never whither or die.
Flowers of the spirit.
You need to understand that they are beautiful and they smell
nice.
You also need to tell those that have planted flowers along your
path that you appreciate them.
I am a runner.
So are you.
We run through life, just different paths, different shoes, and
different running styles.
In all of your daily running, be sure to stop and smell the
roses but
Keep running.

Bible Quote for February 13
God Approves of Incest
"Afterward Lot left Zoar because he was afraid of the people there, and he went to live in a cave in the mountains with his two daughters. One day the older daughter said to her sister, "There isn't a man anywhere in this entire area for us to marry. And our father will soon be too old to have children. Come, let's get him drunk with wine, and then we will sleep with him. That way we will preserve our family line through our father." So that night they got him drunk, and the older daughter went in and slept with her father. He was unaware of her lying down or getting up again. The next morning the older daughter said to her younger sister, "I slept with our father last night. Let's get him drunk with wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him. That way our family line will be preserved." So that night they got him drunk again, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. As before, he was unaware of her lying down or getting up again."
"So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. When the older daughter gave birth to a son, she named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the nation now known as the Moabites. When the younger daughter gave birth to a son, she named him Ben-ammi. He became the ancestor of the nation now known as the Ammonites." (Genesis 19:30-38 NLT)

Judge Gently
Pray, don't find fault with the man who limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view.
Or the burden he bears placed on your back
Might cause you to stumble too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall or felt the shame
That only the fallen know.
You may be strong but still the blows
That was his if dealt to you
In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time
Might cause you to stagger too.
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with word or stone
Unless you are sure - yea, doubly sure
That you have no sins of your own.
For you know, perhaps,
If the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray
It might cause you to falter too.

If I Had My LIfe to LIve Over
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet
was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the "GOOD" living room and
worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a
fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble
about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a
summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before
it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried
about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television
and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending
the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for
the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a
lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have
cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing
inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a
miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said,
"Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more
"I love you" ...
more "I'm sorry"
... but mostly, given another shot at life,
I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it...
live it... and never give it back.
I would tell all my friends that I need and love and that my
life would be empty without them!
