I know that some of you don't believe I ever do any HARD work, so I thought I would show you just how HARD I do work--behold my tomato garden! The way I have it figured, I should have edible tomatoes in a few weeks (I already have one tomato on the vine) because I have been giving these lots of "tender love and care"! I mean they probably think they are important or something because I have showered them with love and affection. I have the feeling that these are going to be some good tomatoes!
Of course, I have to take precautions to keep the deer away, which I have and continue to do--I spray the plants with rotten eggs! Yes, rotten eggs! For some strange reason, deer don't like the smell of rotten eggs and that is good news! The really good news, however, is this: the rotten egg smell is not transferred to the tomatoes, which means that my tomatoes will neither smell nor taste like rotten eggs!
Anyway, I think Israel's take on quail was about like the deer's take on rotten eggs. At the very least, it didn't take them long to learn that they didn't want to mess with God's plan and provision. To be sure, they had a short memory, but they never forgot the smell of rottening quail!
Hopefully, Numbers 11 will come alive for you in the morning and in doing so, maybe the Holy Spirit will GENTLY remind us that we like God's plan and provision better than we think we do, at least much better than we will like what we think we will like!
See you in the AM!
Your Pastor
