The one thing I remember from the discussion is his comment that the crazy phrase "And it came to pass..." has much in common with an Arabic or Semitic phrase that is used much the same way.<br /><br />Too bad I didn't have a video recorder in the early 80's...<br /><br />Mark SteeleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-82946799330409625782013-02-22T20:52:27.460-06:002013-02-22T20:52:27.460-06:00Well said.

Regardless of whether a story is faith promoting or not, people need to be cautious. <br />Like the State Farm insurance commercial - the man is sending info. about his wrecked car with phone apps. and the woman said she didn't know one could do that with State Farm. The man asks her where she heard that and she says the internet and that nothing can be put on the internet if it isn't true, and he asks her where she heard that and she answers with "on the internet". Then her "French model" date shows up.<br />It is important to do research if we really want to know the whole story or get more information, as unbiased as possible, before passing judgement or believing. Sadly people will not do research on their own - regardless of the subject.

Yes, things that can only be called little miracles or even big ones, though it's a crazy world in which plenty of unwanted rain, earthquakes, fires, and bullets find good guys as well as bad.

I saw this in action at the Hill Cumorah pageant one summer. A summer storm blew in and drenched the whole place, except for the stage and audience. As an usher in the parking lot, I regretted leaving my bar of soap at home. Prayer and faith made that hole in the rain.wage slavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793388813493777573noreply@blogger.com
