Embrace the Random...

"Our journey began at Genesis through Exodus.
On the way, we saw Leviticus recording the Numbers of people at Deuteronomy, while Joshua was waiting at the beautiful gate for Judges to see Ruth calling loudly "Samuel, Samuel".
At a stage, the first and second Kings of Chronicles were coming to visit Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther for the misfortune of Job, their brother.
Then they noticed that Mr. Psalm...s was teaching his children Proverbs concerning Ecclesiastes and Songs of Solomon.
This coincided with the period that Isaiah and Jeremiah were engaged in Lamentation for Ezekiel and Daniel their friend.
By that time, Amos and Obadiah were not around.
Three days later, Hosea, Joel and Jonah traveled in the same ship with Micah and Nahum to Jerusalem.
More also, Habakkuk visited Zephaniah who introduced him to Haggai a friend of Zechariah whose cousin is Malachi.
Immediately after the old tradition, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John got involved in Acts with the Romans who were behaving like the Corinthians, who were also always at loggerhead with the Galatians.
At that time too, the Ephesians realizing that the Philippians were close to the Colossians, suggested to the Thessalonians that they should first of all see Timothy who had gone to the house of Titus to teach Philemon his younger brother how to read and write Hebrew.
On hearing this, James asked Peter to explain to him how the three Johns have disclosed to Jude the Revelation of our Lord JESUS CHRIST!"

Spiritual nugget - waiting

"Prayer changes me. I am a better person when I pray. My family likes me better when I pray while I wait. When I pray, I make wiser decisions and I'm a nicer, kinder version of myself. Perhaps the reason you don't like yourself during moments of emotional outrage is because you have not experienced the power for the posture of THE WAIT. The most powerful people I know are men and women of God who love to wait on their knees. Emotions are willful, youthful and sometimes violent and one of the most powerful forces and controlling a person's emotions is KNEE-TIME." ~ Carol McLeod
