I had a chat with someone today. Sparked a thought. Now all of you know that i'm not a very religious person. I did however, grow up in the church and still remember many of the stories of the bible. Anyway, don't get too weirded out by this entry.
So I was thinking about my current situation. I can't help but compare it to some of the stories in the bible. Three in particular come to mind. The first is Noah and the Arc. We all know the story. Homey had to go to Home Depot and get some lumber and some nails. Rained for 40 days and 40 nights. A period of transition. Jonah and the whale. I'm not so convinced that the whale had any idea what he was doing. I mean, if you were a whale, would you really care if you in-advertently swallowed something??? Moses wandering through the DESERT for 40 years. Here we go with the number 40 again. The point is, sometimes, it's good to go through a bit of a painfull transition period. All three of these people were pretty comfortable doing what they did. All of a sudden, things changed and they had to make it through a somewhat lengthy unpleasant spell. The key is that they made it through, and the end result was positive. Noah saved the animals, Jonah repented, and Moses... well, he made it to the land of milk and honey, what more could you ask for?
