Good morning, chickies! *cough*

Thought for the day - If you have a bottle of that Gatorade type stuff on your night table, make sure that the top is closed before you go sleep. I don't know what happened last night, but I now have a nice blue stain on my white sheet and a near empty bottle. *sigh* Sudafed is a great invention. So is that Nyquil stuff. As humans, we've made excellent progress. We have plasma screens, jets, computers that process faster than we ever will... We even put men on the moon. Yet we still haven't discovered how to make cough syrup taste halfway decent. *shaking head* It's quite baffling.

Have you ever noticed that someone with a great voice who is singing out of tune sounds immensely better than someone with a crummy voice who is singing in tune? Take for example James Barbour's appearance at that recent O's game where he sang the National Anthem. Sure he was out of tune, but he sounded fabulous. I would rather him sing it a little off than hear someone like Britney Spears sing it spot on(and even the idea that she could sing something spot on could be debated). *shakes head* It's quite baffling.

I read an article this morning in the Pentecostal Herald about angels. In Hebrews 1:14, the Bible calls them "ministering spirits."

The Apostle Paul wrote that "We are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men" (I Corinthians 4:9). THe word "spectacle" is used only this one time in the Bible. It is translated from the Greek word theatron and can be translated as "theatre," as it is in Acts 19:29-31.
"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones...in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father" (Matthew 18:10). We all may have guardian angels (Psalm 34:7), but the angels which watch our children may have a special closeness to God. While the angels are watching our children they are also watching the face of God!

So, according to I Corinthians 4:9, we are the theatre for the angels! Pretty nifty, heh! :)
