Does that mean I get to have more fun cause I got low blood pressure??

BTW ,what I meant, go back and read first 20 chapters or so of Judges.

Judges 6:11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

Remember the story of Gideon? Well here Gideon, when he is called, is thrashing wheat by the winepress. Why? TO HIDE IT FROM THE MIDIANITAES.....why was he having to hide it from the Midianites?? Cause they(Israel) just kept backing up and backing up, and not doing what God told them, etc etc. Until the Midianites about owned all that was Israel's. read the rest how finally when Gideon used used by God,God used 300 to destroy 135,000.

So, when are we going to get tired of threshing wheat by the winepress and claim what is ours.

ie: I do not agree one little bit with those thugs that murdered that boy. It was a terrible thing. BUT now(if you have watched any news) the homosexual community is saying "if you say anything against homosexuality, then you have as good as killed that boy." So what does a Christian teach his family, or his friends who he cares about their eternity? Are we supposed to shut up??? If so then we are thrashing at the winepress my friend.

God Bless.
