The book of Numbers is honestly at times a tedious book to read, BUT important as it chronicles God's faithfulness to an often ungrateful people of Israel. Due to their rebellious nature a 9 day journey to the promised land took 38 YEARS.
CENSUS: The book of Numbers starts out quite appropriately doing a ROLL CALL . I found it interesting whenever a census was taken the count only included men over the age of 20 who could serve in the army.
Are we there yet?
3: Fire Hazard
5: Say it don't spray it.
HUSBANDS AND WIVES
5:11-15 Jealous Husbands
5:21 Unfaithful women!!
11 Campfires
MANNA
In chapter 11 is a continuation of the people whining. Freedom was I guess not appreciated. In the wilderness God had provided them with Manna, but they were tired of it and unapprciative so God was kind to them by sending a strong wind that blew in qual for the people to have meat.
11:5 Manna burgers?
In 11:28 Jacob is introduced as the Son of Nun, not the Son of a Nun?
11:31 Crazy Weather?
MIRIAM and AARON
In chapter 12 Aaron and Miriam start complaining because Moses has a Cushite wife.
God was not pleased with their whining and so God made Miriam turn WHITE (v10). Moses asked God to heal Miriam and after 7 days outside the camp, Miriam was restored.
SECRET AGENT 007 X 12
13: The 12 spies are sent in to check out the promised land Canaan, and report back the ol' good news bad news findings. GOOD NEWS: (v 23) the land is flowing with milk and honey with .. a very nice Farmers Market. BAD NEWS: Only problem is the land is inhabited by a great people and the cities are fortified. Caleb who was one of the 12 spies was the only one who believed they should take the land. The other 11 spies were as they say in the spy biz.. CHICKENS.
DON'T MAKE GOD MAD!
Chapter 15 tells the story (v 32-36) of a man who collected firewood on the Sabbath. He was arrested and stoned. On a side note, I grew up in a logging community in Northern Wisconsin and can't imagine the death toll of firewood Sabbath violators if this law was being inforced now.
In chapter 16 Korah revolted against Moses with 250 men whining about being brought out of the 'good life' as Egyptian slaves to where they were now wandering in the wilderness. In response to their foolishness the ground opened up and swallowed Korah (v 31-32), and then fire came down from the Heavens to consume his 250 (now toasty) men (v 35)

MAKE COOKIES, NOT WAR!!
31 Anti-war Crowd
31:14 AFter The Israelites defeated the Midianites, they were commanded to kill everyone and take no plunder for themselves.. BUT.. allowed 32,000 virgins to live.
Moses is mad, and I do not understand BUT they divide up the plunder which included (v35) 32,000 virgin girls... Let's just say they were not politicially correct in their disobedience and leave it at that.
35:20 Shove to Death?

Ok, I admit the above summary does over simplify a game that is a near perfect way to spend a summer evening with friends and family. For the athletes, athlete wannabes, softball groupies, and those people like my wife who like to socialize in the stands in the warm sun with the backdrop of softball .. it don't get no better than this.
In SOFTBALL Pitchers try to find the zone with a the well intentioned pitch. InBASEBALL there is the illintentioned spitball. In both sports fielders stretch for the ball, and at the plate you fine that perfect combination of power & grace... at least in the self-affirming eye of the batter..(THANK GOD FOR NO INSTANT REPLAY). Ultimately it is a team game which requires a player from time to time to take one for the team. To sum it all up the SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL experience is PRICELESS! .. even in April in MinneSNOWta! Another significant variation on this simple game of balls & strikes is FAST PITCH SOFTBALL where the ball is pitched underhand but with the pace and movement found in baseball. It is a sport primarily played by girls and dominated by good pitching . Then there is the OPPONENT the ENEMY.. no not the other team, I am talking about the UMPIRE. To be fair, and to no one's surprise just like their are bad athletes, there are bad umpires. Those who are unapproachable, indecisive with their calls that make calls that sound like.. SAA-OUT, their strike zones are either too tolerant or simply they would not know a ball from a strike if it hit them on top of the head.
Make no mistake about it umpires are in control and we will not be late for dinner no matter if the pitcher can't throw the ball in the ocean from the shore! Just like the Love of God has no limits, neither does an umpire's strike zone when he is hungry! so get used to it, assimilate to the zone, or prepared to be OUT! and just like the MAILMAN.. neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night.. nor 100 DEGREE TEMPS with 80% HUMIDITY will keep umpires from their appointed games. |

Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
