Stretcher Bearer

Relates to: "Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on." -Mark 2:3-4

Would you be my stretcher bearers, when I can no longer stand?
Would you each pick up a corner of my pallet in your hand?
This burden's just too heavy, I find I cannot bear
Its pain, its grief, its sorrow; and so I chance to dare-
To ask if you would carry me through valleys dark and wide;
Then set me safely down again where peace and hope abide.
God said His yoke was easy and His burden would be light;
That's surely why He sent you each to lead me through the night.
And now I must lift others and the burdens they may bring;
I'll be a stretcher bearer carrying wounded for the King.

Marriage According to the Commies

My search for an answer to this marriage question has brought me to some very interesting information!

According to the communists, "The contemporary marriage system had originated as an institution of private property about the same time private property in land and goods had originated. It developed in order to ensure that a man's property would be handed on to his sons. The only way this could be done was to endow the sons of one woman with a particular legal status. This did not limit the man's relationship with other women; it supposedly limited the wife's relationship with other men." Yeah...

But don't worry folks, Karl Marx says that after the communist revolution, there will only be true monogamous marriage.

Um, not so much. According to the Statistical Yearbook of Moscow, divorce rates have been steadily climbing since they first started counting (1950) from 0.5 per thousand to 4.0 per thousand by the time of the fall of the communist party. Sorry Karl. You were right about economics, though!

So it turns out capitalism and marriage aren't linked, after all!

Will You Marry Me?

What is marriage? I used to think it was something those Christians way back in the day made up. But it wasn't. Think about it. Native Americans were over here marrying each other (maybe not in the traditional sense we think of now-white dress, one bride,honeymoon- but they still had the idea of marriage, and that's what I'm getting at here)while the Europeans were marrying each other without priests being involved at all until the 17th century. It used to just be two families that got together and ate food, then the couple went and had sex, and it was official! I'm serious. So where did this idea come? It developed in totaly remote places all on its own...

And, if it's not originally a Christian idea, then who are we to put restraints on it? Jews eat kosher food and let everyone else eat whatever they want. But we feel the need to make sure people only do as we do. Except we are not very good at following our own example. We're hypocrites.

And another thing: Where do squirrels go when it rains? And don't tell me they just sit there in the trees. Have you ever seen a wet squirrel? They must have a secret hiding place somewhere!

And another thing! When John the Baptist was baptizing people in that river that day, was he baptizing them as Jews or Christians?
