Sometimer's Disease
My wife says I have Sometimer's
disease. I sometimes remember and
sometimes I don't.
I am thrilled when my Pastor
reveals something I never noticed before, but when I take my pen to write a
note alongside the scripture in my Bible, I find I learned this
previously. I had forgotten it
Yesterday afternoon, I dropped
off some books at the library and met someone I knew. I remembered him, where he worked, what
magazine he represented, but couldn't remember his name. We talked about writing, submitting stories,
and getting stuff published or rejected. Two or three hours later, I remembered
his name. Sometimes I can't remember the
names of people I see every week at church.
I can drive myself crazy trying
to find stuff I put "somewhere safe."
Sometimes I find stuff in the oddest places and can't imagine why I
would put those things there.
Praise God He reminds me of
important stuff at the right time - and enlightens me, too!
I wonder how much the disciples
thought much on the event in today's verse.
It might have been one of those "whatever" things at the
time. However, later on God brought it
to mind again and they remembered the event. They even figured out what Jesus
meant at the time and it turned out to be a blessing for them.
"When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said." John 2:22
