Sabbath Keeping

by Sandra Bennett
Sabbath Keeping· TCF

1 Apr
 ~ a rooster blew in from God knows where ~

“The fool hath said in his heart, 
There is no God.“
~ Psalm 14:1 ~

“An atheist was seated next to a little girl on a plane and he turned to her and asked “Do you want to talk?  Flights go quicker if you strike up conversation with your fellow passenger”

The little girl who had just started to read a book replied, “What do you want to talk about?”

“Oh I don’t know” said the atheist, ” How about why there is No God, or No heaven or hell or No life after death”, as he smiled smugly.

“Ok” she said. “Those could be interesting topics, but let me ask you a question first”. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same grass, yet a deer excretes pellets, while a
cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The atheist, visibly surprised by the girls intelligence, thinks about it and says “I have no idea”, to which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God, no heaven or hell or no life after death, when you don’t know s^^t manure?”

And she went back to reading her book….”

“Judge not according to the appearance, 
but judge righteous judgement.”
~ John 7:24 ~

    Hi Sandra….
    it has been a long time since i've visited your blog… or any blog really.
    i have been on a journey of grief this past year since i lost my sister to cancer.
    every day is hard~ but i look longingly for the promise of heaven. and i am trying hard to find the joy in living again.
    i am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband.
    i hope that you feel blessings around you and that you feel HIS comforting arms protecting you.
    much love~
