I think I stepped in it this morning...nothing unusual there for me, anyway, this morning a lady on fb posted a nice thing and it was said to be Luke 1:37,,,,,now what she posted was very good thought for the day, but then I thought that can't be in the 1st Chap. of Luke and I look up Luke 1:37--"For with God nothing will be impossible".....A great verse of Scripture but absolutely nothing
like the fb post, I mean not even close, not even the same subject.....now remember her post was really nice words to start off the day, just nothing like Luke 1:37. I did a private message and as politely as I could told her how nice her post was, but Luke 1:37 said------. She was as nice to me as she could be, but it was clear she didn't like me telling her what Luke really said....it took me 3 attempts to let her know how I appreciate her daily posting spiritual things and how I wish others would share their faith.......her last comments to me and this is where I left it---"I'm looking for images even I get struck when I see a paraphrase. I figure if it kind of impressed me it might do the same for someone else." Not a word about the correct reading of Luke 1:37, just how nice the other sounded. Maybe I am a Royal Pain in the Butt, but I just have to take the Scripture as it is, now I don't mind modern words or modern thoughts, but to totally rewrite or totally misrepresent what is written, I just don't get it. Like I said I am a Royal Pain, I try not to be, but I seem to always step right in it.

Several days ago I posted something to the degree of the church I grew up in and was going to post things I thought of, well, that didn't happen for 2 reasons, 1--changes over the years are way too numerous to start listing....2-- I found it quite necessary to consider how I have changed over the years. This morning I sort of think that maybe the 1st paragraph of this post might offer some insight. My preacher told me--"Well David, over the years things have changed"---with which I said Scripture says God word never changes, the same today, yesterday and tomorrow, once again I stepped in it. Open mouth insert foot.

If I step back and look at modern denominations I can not help but wonder just how far the Church has fallen away......A really big subject
