It's easy to feel like the "bad guy" today.
Not only
am I the mother of two teens and a 'pre'-teen - a situation which often
necessitates starting off statements with words like, "Do not..." or
"Let's not..." or the very popular, "No..." - but even more
often, when trolling Facebook or reading the news, I find I have an opinion
opposite that of 'public' opinion.
"But woe unto you, scribes, and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay the tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." Matthew 23:23.
Recently, I wrote a post defending the practice of eschewing church.
Though, as I try to do for each devotional post I write, I cited scripture throughout so as not to lean too heavily on my own opinion, yet it was, unsurprisingly ill-received.
The other night, our family watched the movie "Miracles From Heaven" with Jennifer Garner.
The editing and story were excellent and by the time the daughter experiences her miracle, you're either POSITIVE it was a miracle, or a bit more hardhearted and cynical than I think you probably aught to be - even today!
