Meditate on it day and night so you will be
sure to obey everything written in it.  Only
then will you prosper and succeed in all you

LET YOUR WORDS BE FEW


YES,
my back was hurting -
a lot.

My Sciatica again.
My Sciatica has bothered me a few times in my
life.  The last time the Lord helped me go over
40 years between bouts.  Praise God for that.

Was I praying about it?  Of course.  But I was 
beginning to think God was going to have me 
use more natural means of healing this time.
Thus the book above.

I have read 54 pages in the book.
What have I learned in 54 pages.

BACK PAIN CAN BE CAUSED BY 
A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REASONS.

54 pages to learn that!  But nothing to help me yet.

OH!
PRAISE GOD.
He took the pain away.
I do not how or why.  But over about
a week it was gone.

Don't think I will finish the book.

"For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few."
(Ecclesiastes 5:2 NKJV)

WHAT INSTRUCTIONS?

WHAT INSTRUCTIONS?


For years I worked as an auto technician at a new car dealership.
And for years I got irritated with customers who would buy a brand
new car, but not read the owner's manual.

It seemed it was easier to complain when something did not work 
right.  Then go gripe at the "mechanic" about the problem.
When all the time the answer was in the owner's manual.



Guess what?
It appears I am the same way.

I am not a photographer.  But I am in my second childhood,
and have a camera and will play with it.

I was quite content with the photo program that windows had.
Then I went out and bought my wife an expensive (To me.)
high powered new computer - with Vista.
After giving it a fair trial, it drove this simple old
man to Mac.


But I did not care for Mac's photo program.  I could
not do the things I wanted to with it.

Now the computer I am on right now came with an 
84 page manual.  And knowing I needed lots
of help bought a 442 page Dummies book also.



After about three years of using this Mac, 
I stumbled into how to use it's photo program.
The things I wanted to do and could not.
[That information must have been buried down in
the middle of the manuals somewhere.] 

Whether you want to admit it or not.  God created
us and is the source of our life.  Just like the power
to the computer you are on now is plugged in.
Or was plugged in to charge it up.

And whether you want to admit it or not, God 
gave us an owner's manual - the HOLY BIBLE.


Why is it that we human "beans" would rather stumble
through life in the dark -
THAN READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL?
