They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it it was called Nehushtan.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.
And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? While Indy can usually brave anything, he does have a thing for snakes…. Geek wisdom : Although Indiana Jones has a phobia of snakes, he still did jump down to try to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant.
True bravery is facing your fear and powering through, even if every fiber of your being is telling you to run away. Most of my childhood and adult life was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies.
To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.

Did she birth it or was it thrust upon us by some insufflating malefic serpent? Is it man-made or a supernatural force? Aliwat, In Limbo. Then they go sick and die inside the old skin, and nobody ever sees the new pattern.
It needs a real desperate recklessness to burst your old skin at last. The small deep-water serpent that's lifted up by the full moon for one single, magical night to lay its eggs and sperm in a gelatinous soup- it's a gastronomic delicacy the people of Korototoka can't get enough of.
He speaks of it with bitterness, as do almost all his colleagues. Culture is not what it was and he has not the slightest regard for mass culture. He comes from New York and, deep down, he despises California, his colleagues and the decline of standards.
He gets , dollars a year and does not have many students or friends. He has lots of ideas, is sincere, proud and awkward. His secret is his python. I see him plunge his gloved hand into its glass case and stroke the reptile's head, which shoots out a voracious tongue and uncoils itself, still famished though it has just devoured a rat.
We discuss the diet of snakes. A tortoise slumbers by the fireside in the glow of an artificial wood fire. It is Sunday in Santa Monica. Towards four, the sun drives away the mists of the Pacific.
