If you do one thing today, read the list of "Medical terms" above; being a Redneck is optional. Some of them are downright hilarious!!!
My top three favorites are:
1. Urine
2. Fibula
3. Barium.
Now, I realize that not everybody will find these are funny, but for those who enjoy such things- I hope it makes your day!!! Fact, people are different; each with their own sense of humor and attitudes towards life!!! That's fine, we are all different!!! But some things are worth the time and effort to try to understand- especially when it comes to SPIRITUAL MATTERS. Because these things will have eternal consequences. If God tries to teach you something from the Bible and you don't understand- don't give up, sooner or later you will get it!!! Maybe you just need it explained to you? Jesus' apostles were no different...
Mark, Chapter 4
1 Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea. 2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching, 3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow, 4 and as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil. 6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.” 9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables, 12 that ‘seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables? 14 The farmer sows the word. 15 The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. 16 These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. 18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, 19 and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
Everybody has to start somewhere, even Rednecks. Be patient with the thick headed, the stubborn and those who seem stupid. Someone might use these terms to refer to you!!! One more thing; don't let things get in the way of understanding God's word, focus on it, hold to it and never change- you won't be sorry. I wouldn't fibula!
