For the past few days, I have been away on a vacation within my vacation, sightseeing in parts of Taiwan that I haven't been before and some I have many moons ago. It has also been a vacation, I suppose from my sanity, as I somehow got talked into waking up early to go hiking at 5 am yesterday. I don't exercise regularly, let alone climb things with summits. Summits and I don't get see eye to eye. Perhaps because they're so high up. And yet, yesterday, I was there hiking away for a good 4 hours. That's one sixth of my day I could have spent not moving. And making cracks about the Bible.
Brother: 4 am? That's before either Jesus or the sun gets up.
Mother: Before Jesus gets up? "Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."*
Brother: Pretty sure that's talking about his dad and not Jesus.
(earlier, trying to convince our family friend to skip her Bible study the next morning to hang out with us- we have lots of friends who are pastors that need to be convinced away from sermon prep and fasting to hang out with the family)
Brother: What's there to study? Everything in the Bible is truth, that's all they need to know.
Moi: Yeah, if they haven't figured out the Bible at this point, there's probably no saving them.
*The quote, my heathen friend(s?), is from Psalm 121, one that should be easily recognizable to my Judeo-Christian friends. Unless they're bad Judeo-Christians.
