It's a powerful occurrence, but one that has the power to destroy yourself if you give into it from the wrong angle. It's OK to be upset, it's OK to hurt and it's OK to want answers but these are days when "an eye for an eye" type of logic is responsible for the second part of this world's double misery.<br /><br />The translations of the Bible have some serious, one and two word typos. Typographical errors which give the parable the opposite meaning of the thought that was intended to be shared. <br /><br />There are also many passages tainted by the minds of angry men. Men who used their anger from being hurt to justify their tainted words, as if they knew better than God, thinking that the situations have changed. <br /><br />There is no God that is vengeful, only human's are vengeful. But the protection of the innocent often appears as if they are acts of vengeance, because sometimes the protection is from acts that are hard to recognize as being wrong or an act of aggression.<br /><br />The moral of the story can be corrected in two ways. Either lot's wife became a Pillar (a object of miraculous support to the weary) because she had the courage to question, or it was a lesson to show the distinction between the demeanor of False and the demeanor of Truth. <br /><br />Truth will always allow questions because it will want you to understand.<br /><br />False will play on your emotions in ways that make no sense, which tares a person from their all knowing spirit. <br /><br />It is a vulnerability we are all susceptible to on our own. It's a vulnerability that is only helped by having healthy, caring relationships with other people. Families are meant to naturally be this type of fortification against the false. But sometimes only unrelated blood can provide those relationships, which can be found in true friends or a loving spouse.<br /><br />And it doesn't matter what sex your spouse or friends are in relation to your own (another gross misinterpretation of THE WORD)whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685473418191606910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-73042230634054578562011-12-03T20:42:44.021+11:002011-12-03T20:42:44.021+11:00Liv, I appreciate these trips back to the beginnin...Liv, I appreciate these trips back to the beginning when my blog was an unknown and that some of these early thoughts of mine can get an airing and find an audience.<br /><br />Thank you so much for commenting here, Liv, and for the metaphor of my writing as an Appalachian trail.

I, as well, always go back to the beginning to try to get a clearer picture. Although I've never commented there...don't want to disturb what is generally a pristine white space. But as there are 2 here who have braved the page, I'll add myself<br /><br />What a lovely and interesting thinker you are, Elizabeth! That's what writing is to me. The labor of laying down thought, so brave. A trail through someones mind. Yours is so interesting and huge, rather like the Appalachian Trail - so much to see and discover...I'm loving it.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-39284415601223590592011-04-08T22:09:40.159+10:002011-04-08T22:09:40.159+10:00Thanks for going back to the beginning of my blog,...Thanks for going back to the beginning of my blog, Joanna.

This I have done since I started blogging anonymously 5 years ago, and I still continue to do so now that I have a public blog. <br /><br />I feel, as she aptly put it that you get the essence of the person behind the blog.<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by my blog yesterday, and it was a delight recalling memories of my childhood prompted by your visit and warm words. <br /><br />Kind regards, Joanna aka paper ~My Daily Mooosings in the Netherlandshttp://mydailymooosingsinthenetherlands.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28133718.post-37695860580368905002010-12-12T21:50:30.845+11:002010-12-12T21:50:30.845+11:00You're conscientious, Jane.

How lovely to meet you here, way back here in the beginning when as far as I know, no one bothered to read let alone comment on my blog. <br /><br />Good luck with the reading.
