Psalm 34:7
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Do you believe in angels? Have you ever seen one? If you have, write about your experience. What are your thoughts and beliefs about angels?"

I believe angels are real because the Bible says they are. Case closed.

I do want to blog about something I saw on social media last night. It had a young punk on there talking about the Bible. He claims that Jesus lied repeatedly and that because Jesus lied the Bible cannot be trusted.

His argument is that Jesus told the disciples that there were some standing there who would not die until Jesus came back with "power and great glory". This is found in Matthew 24:33-36 and other passages. Since Jesus did not physically bring about the "tribulation and rapture" this poor, misled child believes Jesus lied. What the child does not understand is that Jesus did come back: At Pentecost in 33AD. The Kingdom was established and reigned for thousands of years, unrecognized by most. Matthew 24:33-36 was discussing the establishment of the church! If people would qujt trying to interpret the Bible in human, self-centered terms, and read it through Godly, other-centered eyes they would unlock its mysteries. What a lot of people do not understand is that God does not think in human terms. Isaiah says "My ways are not your ways, nor are my thoughts your thoughts."

God does not value the things we value. In fact, it is safe to say that the things God values are polar opposites of the things we value. We think in three dimensional terms. God thinks and talks in spiritual terms. We value selfish things. God values selflessness. This kid was misinterpreting scripture.

about depression. How do you deal with depression?"

I have bi-polar I disorder and am currently out of medication. Apparently, the manufacturer of the medication is backordered so I have to do without. It is really tough dealing with the mood swings, but I try to be aware of it, not take anything personally, and let God handle the rest.

Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs Prompt: "Tell the story of one of your scars."

I have a scar on my right wrist. I had been cleaning my porch one day and I reached up to take down an old bird's nest that had been built in the eves. When I got it I caught the bottom of my right wrist on a nail and it ripped it open. I treated it and thought no more of it. Later that day the police showed up and hauled me off to a psych unit. Somebody had seen the wound and thought I'd cut my wrist to kill myself. The mental hygiene commissioner dismissed it immediately but the scar always reminds me of that.
