I have to tell you this. Just today I was thinking about a brief conversation I had with another Christian about eating meat. This phrase you used today, "I could never do that" was the gist of his reason that vegetarianism was best. And "we have better ways of getting protein than killing something". I'm plagued, it seems with the Timothy syndrome. I suffer from self imposed timidity. I know it's hard to believe that. So, you explained it perfectly. And when you did the scales fell from my eyes. I can now see why vegetarian has an issue with killing something. It's according to their faith. A self fulfilling prophecy.

However, according to my faith, I prefer... "Rise Peter, kill and eat." He faltered, but what God has cleansed, right? And, he went to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a gentile! Imagine the gossip in choir practice that Sunday! Really, a gentile in our church!?! Thanks a lot, "Pebbles".

So, today, He is my personal Great Physician. And yes, because he is here, with me. I believe I can go too. Like Pebble did. (Not rock, but Pebble, as the confession that Jesus was and of course still is, the Christ, the Son of the Living God was the Rock that the church was built on. Not Peter).

Great lesson today! Blessings brother.

Off the subject. I saw another of your videos on YouTube today and for some reason, I can't get Jonah out of my head. When he went the wrong direction he was swallowed by a fish. Then when he went to Nineveh to preach repentance, he got mad when they did repent. You talk about backwards, and he has his own book in the old testament. And the three days in the fish story was about Jesus' death burial and resurrection on the third day. WOW! You talk about God using us. Jonah had no intention of being obedient. Yet, when he did, he was angry that the message of repentance worked! There's always a way that God will use you, even if has to have us vomitted out of the fish, and then, be able to make your preaching count when you hoped the city would be destroyed.

What an amazing and powerful God we have. Gotta love the Gospel!
