Fruit and Debauchery

Galatians Ch 5 has the much sought for Fruit of The Spirit passage.  But, it also warns against a lifestyle of drunkenness and indulgence just before that.  Those that do will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

They can learn new skills.  They can modify habits and behaviors.  But, they do not change.

Bella The Devil

Cindy walks around the kitchen island to exercise.  Once, she made the comment that Bella gets in here way--our basset hound--as if intentionally trying to keep Cindy from reaching her daily step goal.  She said, it's like the Devil is trying to keep her from this good goal.  It's sort of a metaphor for all the things in life that get in our way of doing good.

Irony, or the Thanksgiving Turkey

A study (survey?) has shown that women don't find men with a pot belly attractive.  But, every women I've ever known overfeeds you.

Hindsight is 20 20

The book of Job has so much foreshadowing of the messiah in it.  Take 25:4, who can be born pure of a woman?  Well, I have the answer to that.  ...now.
