I just got my freakin' ankle worked on at the acupuncture place. He drained some nasty stuff from my ankle. Yup. nasty. But when he said to take it easy on it for a week, I started to worry. This meant that I could not do any sports for a week! Ruining my ultimate weight loss program.... Damn! So I came home and I started to think about this freak accident that happened. Geez... Why now. I feel like I slowed down tremendously last couple of weeks. I want to lose more and I want to do it faster. I am learning to be patient by default. I guess this is good for me. So I just came home and started to read the WORD! My boss FouSe Deuce and I have been going over the kings of Isreal and This week I am reading "Song of Solomon!" Yikes. I have never, ever heard a message by a Pastor on this paticular book. I read it a while ago. So since I won't be exercising this week, I am gonna use my time to read the book of Song of Solomon.... Many interpreters, both Jewish and Christian, have regarded the Song as an allegory of God's love for Israel or the Church. But... Once again.... Yikes! I can't get some images out of my head when I read some of these verses.
Chapter 1 verse 12 through 13
"While the King is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. (Oh me oh my) A bundle of myrrh is my beloved is my beloved, That lies all night between my breasts"
....
Oh boy... I know that King Solomon was a ladies man, but this staright up sounds like a woman lusting after the King. What the heck is a spikeard? So I wonder if future wife's Spikenards are gonna send forth it's fragrance.... What the heck am I thinking!
Well.... I know that God's love for the Church is so much more than these words. But such words.... No wonder I never heard this on a sermon... I (the imature fool that I am) am translating the Word in a very sinful manner.... Oh how my heart is full of sin.... I just can't help to imagine P.Jin giving a Sermon on these verses.... I just keep gigling thinking about it. hahahahahah! I am such a schmuck.
