When it comes to bugs, I'm not the most squeamish female in the world. I recognize that they are God's creation, put here for a purpose, and I try to leave them alone and preserve them in their natural habitat. That, of course, means, "outdoors", and especially, "not...
When I opened my fridge 4 days ago, I was assaulted with a smell that I knew shouldn't be there. Something in the back of my refrigerator was beginning to rot. But wait. I was busy and there was no time to clean the fridge. I ignored it. Maybe it would go away... By...
There I was last week, holding on to the escort's arm, pulling my luggage behind. With quick steps, we made our way through the airport. "This way to immigration," he said. Immigration? I had forgotten I was coming in on an international flight and of course...
I noticed something as I watered the plants on my deck this morning. I noticed that although they were healthy, they were no longer pretty. They had become infected with weeds. Normally, every time I water the plants, I pull off the dead flower heads and pull up any...

Last week, in Tangle Untangled, Part 3, we compared three Biblical charactors to God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit: Enoch, Moses and Elisha. Satan, like the Holy Trinity, also deserves a human representative on Earth because he seduced Eve, and Adam...
