BITS AND PIECES OF KNOWLEDGE
Written by Luz Leigh
– June 2007
Today I
decided to clean house. Now that doesn’t
happen very often. You see, I just keep
the house at an acceptable level for the
health department; just so they won’t shut
me down. As I was cleaning, I was
listening to a video about some of
history’s most mystifying stories and
claims which are included in the
Bible. And I might add, proven by the
Bible to be true.
The
video included renowned Bible scholars and
knowledgeable men of the secular world. It
was interesting to hear how the skeptics
would try to “explain” away topics such as
Moses parting the Red Sea, the burning
bush, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Tower of
Babel, and the tumbling down of the walls
of Jericho. Then here would come the men
of God who could refute their claims using
the Word of God and scientific evidence.
Now I
always want to shake Lot’s wife, you know,
the one who looked back toward the wicked
city from which they had just been
rescued. The woman had been TOLD not to
look back, but she just had to do so. To
this day there is a formation of salt that
is referred to by the locals in that area
as Lot’s wife. At least she is famous.
As I was
mopping the kitchen floor, I thought about
how our lives are a lot like that
floor. When I finished with the mopping,
the floor would be clean and shiny. Our
lives are cleansed from sin when we allow
the Lord to come into them, but just as
that kitchen floor will get soiled again,
so will our lives. We will need to be
“mopped”, that is forgiven for sins that
creep into our lives. We will never lose
our salvation, but we will lose blessings
when we allow sin to stain our “clean
floors”.
I did
very little dusting, because you see, my
home is a very important place when it
comes to producing cobwebs. Cobwebs can be
applied to an open wound to help clot the
blood and stop the bleeding. In case there
is a great emergency and the medical
profession needs my assistance, I want to
be prepared with a good supply of
cobwebs. Well, that seems like a good
reason to leave the dust and cobwebs in
place. My son recently tried to convince
me the cobwebs were there so spiders could
catch their food. Just because the man is
a certified Emergency Medical Technician
he thinks he knows it all. He doesn’t
believe that after you kill a snake, you
must chop it into small pieces and burn
it, but what does he know? And if you
place a child infected with chicken pox
under the chicken roost for a short period
of time, the itching will stop. Can’t
convince him of that either. All this
knowledge I have is just going to waste. I
need to write a book.
