My Very Dear Friend..... your post is brilliant.... my bible has many, many names dates, times....
I have been using that analogy..... often the past month.... it's like you can hand people a treasure map and tell them that X Marks the spot.... now go and dig up your pot of Gold...... and all you get is a blank stare and total disbelief........
You know in the Book of John.... by chapter 2 we get right into the first of the signs of the messiah...his mother comes and admonishes her son... that there is no wine left during the wedding banquet.... "his response... was of what concern is it of mine, my time has not yet come..."
let's go to the reference book so I don't blow this one too....
"When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus *said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus *said to her, “Woman, [ a]what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother *said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” ....
"6 Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing [ b]twenty or thirty gallons each. 7 Jesus *said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He *said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the [ c]headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter *called the bridegroom, 10 and *said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have [ d]drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This beginning of His [ e]signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

My Friend V, I am pretty much used to most everyone getting pissed off at me.... regardless of what I say... and when I shut up and don't take their calls... then they are annoyed that I am keeping it real and trying to keep folks with a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.... THE W CLEMENT STONE... SUCCESS SYSTEM THAT NEVER FAILS......
Peace be unto you,
John |
