RANDOM THOUGHTS

I didn’t realize my little blog on “hair” yesterday would illicit so many comments. I should have known, however, since an entire musical was written in the sixties on the subject and even entitled “Hair.” It’s always been a great topic of conversation from Bible times until now. So I was amused to read them all, and I hope you get a chance to have a chuckle about them too.

At first I did a double take at the alwaysaRebel person but soon figured out that it was my cousin Jane whom I haven’t talked to for a while. I must say that although I haven’t mentioned it on the blog, I’m still smarting from the whuppin’ we Gators took from the Rebels a few weeks ago. There’s no doubt we would be #1 in the football rankings at this point if it weren’t for “them Rebels.” Ah well, the LSU game almost made up for the loss.

Yesterday I went to bridge club and I’m almost embarrassed to say that I won again. This time I played with a woman who is very unsure of herself about her playing ability but is always eager to learn from her mistakes. Yesterday she told me after we found out we were the winners, “Peggy, you don’t understand; I always finish at the bottom. We really communicated well today and fit together.” She was really happy about the win and was high-fiving me all over the place.

Well, I can’t take credit and that’s not false modesty. I really believe it must be a God thing because there’s still an element of luck even in duplicate bridge.

And speaking of God, I have received a new Bible I ordered from Amazon and it is amazing. I highly recommend it to everyone, believers or not. It is most unusual in that it is entirely chronological. I have started with the New Testament and all the gospels are mixed together in the order of how the story of Christ unfolds. That may mean a repetition of the same story three or even four times, but it’s not boring at all. In fact, it’s interesting to compare the various viewpoints to each other. There is an historical timeline plus background information on each page, so the reading is slow. The Book of Acts is interspersed with Paul’s letters throughout. I look forward to reading that as well.

Hopefully, all of the Bible study will play out spiritually in my own life, but the Spirit has a very stubborn subject to work with and on!!
