This week we have the last multiples of three day until June: 3/30/15.
That’s it. Lower your voice.

A fellow walked into a drugstore and headed to the back to speak to the pharmacist. “Do you have anything for hiccups?” he asked. Without warning, the pharmacist reached over and gave the man a sharp smack on the shoulder. “Did that help?” he inquired. “I don’t know,” the startled man replied. “I’ll have to ask my wife. She’s waiting in the car.”
Psalm 29 describes several ways that God controls nature.

Genesis 34 tells an awful story of rape, deceit, genocide, and robbery. The sons of Jacob had a sister named Dinah who captured the attention of a local boy. This Shechem did a thing that “must not be done” (verse 7) as “he seized her, lay with her and humiliated her” (3). Shechem tried to make amends, wanting to marry Dinah. Jacob’s family said they would be okay with such an arrangement as long as all the men in Shechem’s family and town were circumcised first (15).
This seemed good to everyone until Simeon and Levi, two sons of Jacob, went into the town and killed all the males while they were still very “sore.” They took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and went away. And all the other sons of Jacob plundered the city, taking all the flocks, herds, donkeys and whatever else was in the city and the fields (25-29).
Jacob’s reaction was one of self-preservation, “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land.” His sons’ defensive response: “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?” None of these people were stellar performers. They had even been collecting abominable foreign idols during their journey.
But the LORD told Jacob to go back to Bethel, dwell there, make an altar to the “God who had appeared to you. “ Jacob obeyed. The miracle that strengthened Jacob’s faith at this point was this: “a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around then, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob” (verse 35.5). God’s chosen people were not worthy of it, but God was keeping his promises to Abraham to bless them.
