Thoughts From my Bible Reading

     Today, I was reading from Acts chapter 12, about how Peter was arrested by Herod, and then was delivered by an angel. When I read about how Rhoda recognized Peter's voice, I could just imagine the scene...

Knock, knock, knock
"I wonder who that could be?"
"I suppose I'll go and check." (Rhoda)
Knock, knock, knock
"Hello? Who is there?"
"It is I."
"Peter!!!!!"
delighted scream
"Rhoda, who is there? Are you alright?!"
"Oh, you'll never guess who's at the door! It's Peter!"
"You must be mad! Peter's been arrested."
"I am not mad! It's truly Peter!"
"That's impossible; it must be an angel."
"No, it is not. It is Peter."
"Well, if it is, then why isn't he with you?"
"Oh... I forgot to open the gate."
Meanwhile, at the gate, Peter is chuckling, knocking, and praising the Lord.

     Another thing I came across, from Acts 13:8-12, how a sorcerer attempted to prevent Barnabas and Paul from telling the deputy about Christ. The neat thing is, is that the Lord caused the sorcerer to be blind, and because of this the deputy believed! Isn't that just amazing?

Jubilee Shalom Duggar

I just finished watching the last episode of 19 Kids and Counting, where the Duggars find out that Michelle miscarried their 20th baby. It was so sad. And it was amazing how Mr. and Mrs. Duggar reacted when they found out... "The LORD giveth, and the LORD taketh away; blessed be the name of the LORD." said Mrs. Duggar. And then they prayed. You know, sometimes it can be easy to forget that the Duggars are real people, with real sorrows, joys, struggles, and triumphs. But it this episode, it was amazing to think that this response wasn't staged. It wasn't written. It was the immediate, natural response of God's children to turn to Him in their grief.

In Christ Alone,

The verse & quote of the Week

Sorry about not having a new verse & quote up last week... I meant to, but kind of forgot about it, or was busy. So, to make up for last week, I'll put up two this week.


In Christ Alone,

New "Features"

I've decided that I will start to put up verses of the week... They'll be posted on my sidebar thingy. I also decided that, hopefully, I will put up with each verse a quote, that has something to do with what that verse talks about.... Hope I didn't sound to confusing!

Oh, and all the verses are from the KJV.

In Christ Alone,
