Peace

My grandchildren won't willingly taste any unfamiliar food. If we force them, they make an awful face and loudly proclaim that they don't like it. I wonder if this is how we look to God when he offers us the hope of peace on earth, good will towards men, foods we have never before tasted ?

Abide With Me

Sister Flea


Jonah, smelling badly of fish guts, walked into the foreign city of Nineveh, screaming something about the city's destruction in 40 days. Now you know what should have happened -- they should have run him off as a crazy person -- yet the Bible says that they believed him. Do you have to give up your reason in order to read the Bible, or is there something going on here we don't give enough attention to? We will have to consult with a family of fleas to shed some light in this darkness.
