I'm not a whiner, or a complainer. So I apologize for yesterday's blog. I just lost my cool for a minute. My reaction to something going wrong with me is defiance.
I made a huge mistake planting things before April 15. I knew better. But the weather was warm. Balmy and wonderful--and I forgot that I live in Oklahoma. One week after I planted stuff, it was 31 degrees. And it is supposed to be 29 tonight. I've got my buckets out to cover the tomatoes up, but I doubt anything will make it. This is why the average cost of my tomatoes is $60 apiece. I keep buying new plants and starting over. I just don't seem to learn.
One of my Coral Bell azaleas made it. Out of four. They tell me that you can't kill Coral Bells in Oklahoma. I probably hold some kind of record for azalea murder. I'll buy more of them. Like I said. Defiance.
I made a mistake in Teacher's meeting last week. I asked the question: "When, exactly, do we get our glorified bodies?" My stars, you would have thought I had predicted the day of the "Second Coming." I poured gasoline on the fire when I followed that question with another one: "Did all those people who were resurrected after Jesus was, and walked around Jerusalem greeting their neighbors, did they have glorified bodies."
I should have stopped. But I just had to ask, "What does a glorified body look like anyway?"
I don't think some of the teachers know just how to take me. Nobody else asks questions. But I figured that a room full of adult Bible teachers could maybe answer some of my questions. Paul said he was sick of giving milk to people when they should be ready for meat. I was just exploring meaty questions I didn't know the answer to. I didn't get any answers.
There were pre-millenniumists, and post-millenniumists in the room. I told them that a pastor I once had was a pan-millenniumist. He felt that every thing was going to pan out just fine. I don't think they thought that I was funny?? Actually it's a great group of people. Everyone is there by choice. So the discussions are interesting.
