Saturday's LOST episode occurred after our hike along an obscure old forest road near Pactola Lake. When we returned to the vehicle Sam said,
"I had my lion sticker with me in my pocket..." and my mind immediately went to the stickers on the several cases of Palisade peaches we bought last summer at Krull's Market, the Mountain Lion brand, and I was surprised at Sam's sentimentality that he would carry a sticker with him in his pocket while we hiked. Then he said something really strange, "I just put it under my seat where I like to keep it." ...and that really LOST me, for an embarrassingly long time before I understood that he was referring to his hunting knife which he keeps under the seat!
At Bible Study on Sunday night, I had opportunity to share the above story with the group when the subject of the credibility of the Bible came up, and the leader put forward that the connection and accuracy from beginning to end of the pages of God's Book are nothing short of supernatural, the writers being guided by God through the Holy Spirit.
With that said, Sam's and my LOST episode came to mind...and I couldn't help but laugh. I declared (although these are already not my exact words...) that the writing of the Bible had to be supernaturally guided, otherwise it wouldn't connect or have accuracy from one sentence and page to the next, much less from Old Testament to New Testament! Barely had the laughter (provoked by my sharing our Mountain Lion Sticker story) subsided, when nearly everyone there had their own unique, and humorous, story to tell...the only common thread being human nature's propensity for misunderstanding or exaggerating what is heard.
Did you think of a story?
