A unique thing happened tonight I was fixing the kids supper and I need to see if the food was hot enough. I would normally just take a little nibble. Paused a moment to think how am I going to do this, then I asked Kathryn to take the bit instead. New moments very day.
Old habits die hard at least I didn't adhere to the Bill Clinton rule about not inhaling. " I did not eat I just inhaled" and quite frankly my bean soup and blue corn tortillas was better than the chicken, but I sure could have inhaled the rest of that mac and cheese.
I was reading about Daniel and Darius friendship today. I was so struck at Darius's distress of having to put Daniel in the lion's den. This is more than a king and his advisor. Here are the Versus in the NIV.
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!"
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel's situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions' den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?"
21 Daniel answered, "O king, live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king."
23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 At the king's command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
