I was tagged by Sofee and it goes like this:  grab the book nearest you, go to page 123, cound down five sentences and type the next three sentences. We have a little table with cubbies next to the computer where we keep some of our Bibles (my husband loves different translations, sizes etc... we have a lot).  I picked the one on top and here it goes:


Yes, I have heard the complaints the Israelites are making against me.  Now tell them this: 'As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very things I heard you say.  You will all drop dead in this wilderness!  Because you complained against me, every one of you who is twenty years old or older and was included in the registration will die.  You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you.'  
Numbers 14:27-30

How glad are you that we have Jesus?  By his grace we are free from the law.  Every time I read the Old Testament I take a look at what I think are "problems" in my life and realize I have it pretty good.  I much prefer the knowledge that I am going to heaven than the fear that I "will drop dead in the wilderness."

  1. Wow, not only are you creative, but quick also. What a responsible blogger :)

    Isn't the bible so awesome!

    You know, with age comes wisdom. God has known exactly what I needed & its in His time AND what I thought I needed but didn't! That problem doesn't make sense...

    Many blessings!
