I went to "paste" into the box just in case I had thought to "copy" it so I wouldn't lose it, but the only thing that got pasted was this:<br /><br />"Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom."<br /><br />Uh, maybe someone is trying to tell me something. :)beksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724637942561747185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112439593032667008.post-68199712252528582392010-01-11T05:11:59.289-08:002010-01-11T05:11:59.289-08:00Thanks for giving me a more visual picture of thes...Thanks for giving me a more visual picture of these people. I would have loved to have seen the tent wedding! I wonder about their wealth! They are described as very wealthy with all their camels and servants and maids, etc. But it is so different from our view of weath and the comforts they bring. The cultural differences, like you have said, are drastic from ours in so many ways. (Matthew) The power of Jesus had to have amazed his followers, calming the seas, speaking to and then casting out demons. His power not just amazed, but frightened people! His power in our lives today is both amazing and frightening...I want him to calm the seas in my life, but not always to cast out the demons (change/make me into his!). Oddly, I actually know of a woman who loves the idea of Jesus but will not commit to him b/c she just doesn't want to give him that much "control" of her life. (Psalm) Arrogance seems like such an acceptable sin in our society today, but clearly God doesn't like it.Gagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747145949566817043noreply@blogger.com
