Flying Insects

I am reading through Deuteronomy in my devotions. Here is a verse that really challenged me today. Deuteronomy 14:19 says, "All flying insects are ceremonially unclean for you and may not be eaten."

I wrong "Dang" in the margin of my Bible next to that verse.

Seriously, I'm feeling so spiritual today. I finally found a commandment I'm not even tempted to break. I'm on top of the world.

I've never broken this command. On occasion, a flying insect has gotten inside my mouth. But I cough religiously. I've never swallowed.

Some commandments are just easier to keep than others :)

If you've never eaten flying insects reach around and give yourself a pat on the back today!

Deep thoughts.

I guess Fear Factor is for sinners then. Bummer I was going to win & fund a building project.

Hutch,

I'd still go on Fear Factor but pray for Lizard brains or buffalo testicles.

Unfortunately, I have broken this commandment. Oh the joys of international mission trips!!! :)

i love people who are willing to write "dang" in the margins of their bibles. such freedom. such eloquence. such pathos.

fwiw, i've got a lot of "dang's" and at least as many "arrgh's" in my niv wide-margin (extra-wide for more Christian expletives).
