Great read but also something to think about
Psa 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Psa 139:16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.

 I wonder was that God or typo ??? Either way the response would have been the same. More of a source of exceptionalism than sayings to those that believe. Lately pushing exceptionalism is done in all the schools and some forget the real value is life. Its not in sayings, and not in affirmation of society but in the simple fact that we are here and were designed to be here for this time. Not by accident and not by whim of man, in that I personally take comfort in, and to some I would think knowing or being reminded of that could lift some spirits. Thanks for asking btw just didn't come off as curiosity.

And this is related to the OP message how? If you read, C A R E F U L L Y, the OP headline I think you will answer your own question. Other than that from a personal standpoint knowing all those trivial points is interesting but the last line is this "There, now you know just about everything which lends testimony you aren’t average." Average is relative and we according to God are not average so its an encouragement to that same point. I liked it better when Meat was here and you would go after him.  I was just confused why you went on a "holier than you" rant. I knew he must have had a typo. Sorry for being confused and asking a question. I get confused every now and then. I aint sorry |
