12-17-2023 – A Word to the Wise – What is like when a Christian refuses to abide by the Lord’s instructions?

My mother taught me the fundamentals of sewing, so when I got in the military, the first day they issued a sewing kit. I knew what it was and how to use it. Skip forward 63 years, the hem in my pants was coming loose. Hey, I can fix this.

I find my wife’s’ black thread and a needle. I sit at my desk for 20 minutes just trying to thread the needle. Finally, I see this red thing in the sewing kit, and recognize it is a tool to help thread the needle. I spend 15 more minutes trying to thread the needle with the threader. Finally, get it threaded.

But while picking up my pants to sew, I knock over a glass of water that had no lid. My daughter has told me at least thousand times “PUT A LID ON IT”. NO LID, so my thread, the needle, all end up in the floor wet, and here I sit.

Amos 5:18 ff Woe to you desire the day of the Lord! Why would you have the day of the Lord? It is darkness, and not light: as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him: or went into the house and leaned with his hand against a wall and a serpent bit him!
