Life and Times

What a crazy time we live in. I find it interesting to see how life changes not only from year to year and day to day, but even from hour to hour. I’ve only been 30 for a week now and it’s settling in nicely. I’m not sure how it happened but I’ve had to shave more in this last week than it seemed like I did in the whole of last month. Ok now on to some real content. I’ve made the comment to myself to read through the whole bible in 90 days. Thanks to youversion reading plan. Go here to check it out. The last 2 days I’ve been in Exodus. I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading when it got to part were Moses was laying down the “rules” by witch they were to live by.  As I looked at it from our “modern” mind set it seems impossible to live up to the standard that was set. I couldn’t help but be so thankful for grace. But as I thought about it more it brought up some questions about society. After reading the penalties for some what we would call crime, it’s no wonder people back then were not career criminals. So this makes me think, are we to soft today? I put a tweet (follow me) out there about this earlier this week and got some interesting feedback. In Moses day if you stole something and got caught red handed, you were stoned. One guy on twitter said he would attend a public stoning with his kids and tell them this is what happens if your noddy! Would we have a better country to live in if we went back to the rules of Moses day? Go read Exodus 21 & 22 it will take less than 5 mins. then comment about what you would keep and what you would change from Moses day. GO….
