Sadly I came out as Moses. I was sorry to see that I still appeared rigid and uncaring. Will continue to work on that.
Well, we even out. I wanted to get King David (Psalm 51 and all that, you know), but got Elijah instead! Now will I be going bald?
Never fear, Gregg: it was Elisha, Elijah's protege, who was the bald guy.
Steven, I know all about the "still, small voice" of the Lord that Elijah heard. I know Carmelites claim him as our spiritual father.
But don't you ever feel that King David and his love for the Lord and joy in Him is just as good a role model for Carmel?
The idea of Elijah is that we're supposed to "get away from it all;" however, the majority of Bible time for Elijah is given to active ministry:
1) miracles;
2) the "butt-kicking" of Baal and his prophets; and
3) prophesying doom to Ahab and Jezebel.
His flaws of impetuosity notwithstanding, I think King David, as "a man after God's own heart," is not too bad a result for you as a Carmelite!
Dear Kathy,
Agreed. But you must admit being able to deliver a good kick in the Ba'al's is a mighty nice talent.
But I suppose I can dance before the Lord and be content. I don't have the right personality for kicking anyway.
shalom,
Steven
Carmelites as closet "Ba'al" kicker wanabees...
...........spunky St. Teresa..maybe..but St. Therese???
Hee hee thanks for the giggle
Steve,
Guess what this friendly cyber-neighborhood Dominican came out as? You got it Elijah! Well guess we know why I was so amused at the thought of "Ba'al kicker" wanabees!
