I'll Pass On The Salt, Please


There are times in my life that I read and see parts of the stories in the bible in a humorous way not mocking by any means. I fear God to much to do that! The story I’m about to talk about is found in Genesis 19.
Lot ended up with one salty wife, probably couldn’t peck her for fear of losing his lips. Lots wife turned into a pillar of salt for her disobedience but Matthew 5:13 states that, “Ye are the salt of the earth”. Why she didn’t turn into a pillar of sugar??? Brown sugar??? Her husband might have had to resort to one last salty/bitter peck of his disobedient wife. Matthew also states but, “if the salt have lost his savour we are good for nothing”…I guess Mrs. Lot lost her savour and became one bitter pillar. God ways are so beyond us; we can’t comprehend the reasoning of the pillar of salt.



 On a more serious note, I personally think her disobedience stemmed from Lot. As the angels entered the city and later Lots house, they kept insisting that he and his family leave the city. Yet in verse 16 Lot lingered he still didn’t want to leave the evil city or heed to the warning of the Angels. They literally place them outside the city and were instructed to escape for their lives and not look back. Just maybe she looked back because she had daughters (maybe even grandchildren) still in the city but reminds me of some of us that came out of the world of sin. Sometimes we look back at where we came from it should be ruins we see there NOT anything good that would draws us back to Sodom or Gomorrah.

    Actually I heard a preaching one time where this Sis was preaching about Lots wife and why she turned around that awful day. She said that she had been praying and that she was burdened by the family that was left behind. As a mother her heart was broken and therefore she looked back.

    This Sis was praying and the Lord revealed to her that the reason she turned around was not because she was rebellious but she was burdened by her loved ones left behind. Therefore turned around.

    Sofie something to compare about Lots wife story is the Spanish scripture to the English scripture. In Spanish it seems like she left children behind but in the English version theres no mention of anyone being left behind. I have reread it many times but I come up with the same conclusion.

Funny Dream...

A funny dream I had…try not to laugh to hard…I was walking through my room to my bathroom when I suddenly heard a baby’s cry on my bed I looked but I said to myself,   Surely Not! I kept walking but then I heard another baby’s cry, every time I ignored the cries there was yet another baby on my bed. I don’t know if the dream ended or what but I totally put the dream in the back of my mind. Three to four days later I was at my desk at work, I was talking to God; I could feel him like he was sitting so close to me such sweet peace. So I asked him about my dream I told him surely Lord that can’t be live babies that I’m going to have cause I’m up in age (he replied instantly, remember Sarah). Yes Lord but I am a single lady, Sarah had a husband (can’t describe it but I heard the Lords laughter) what would people say Lord, just doesn’t seem possible (I am the impossible, still I heard his laughter). I myself began to laugh, this is crazy Lord. But then in a happy but serious voic...

GOD answers little prayers not just Big Ones

March 2000 still a fairly new convert repented and baptized in Jesus Name, seeking the Holy Ghost the ladies from a small central Texas church invited me to a ladies meeting in Lufkin-Nacogdoches area. I found sitters for my guys that were 3 and 8 at that time and rushed in my packing.  Made a mental note of two thinks in particular that I had to get no matter how tight my budget was. I talked to God, told him you are my provider now and you know us girls have to have our stuff to keep pretty so please Lord make a way for me. We drove into a beautiful campground still had those two items on my mind and told Sisters Torres and Rolland we have to go to town as soon as we register and get our stuff put in the dorm.  We registered and were handed a yellow envelope (more like a packet). When I got a chance I opened the envelope and their before my eyes are the two items I had asked God for! I was like WOW God answered my prayer so fast. To anyone out there it may not seem like a b...

Approaching the Throne Boldly

Just got back from a conference and was reading an Elders book he had just published and I was inspired to write the next paragraphs... In 2007 I discovered a lump the size of a quarter that at times ached so doctors wanted to cut, aspirate and whatever else they thought was needed,  I told them NO you will not touch me. As christians when faced with hard decisions I believe we have the authority to approach God throne boldly and ask for certain things in our lifes. I was desperate so I did that I inquired of the Lord and told the Lord if you don't heal me I am leaving this world but Lord I am not ready to leave this world. I have two sons that still need to be raised and I don't want their father or my family to raise them. I am desperate Lord heal me or take me quickly. A year later I returned for my yearly test, and the technician stopped in the middle of the procedure and told me he had to go get a doctor...at that precise moment I called out to God and told Him yo...
