I am so thankful my God has not placed me in a pit with a lion on a snowy day!

Wow. I love it when I "discover" something in the Bible that--even though I've read it 100 times, is "new" to me. What an awesome message Mark Batterson shares about Benaiah CHASING a lion into a pit on a snowy day! It is well worth the read and truly inspirational. As a Believer, it is my job to put my faith and trust in my Lord and Savior and then to watch Him make the unbelievable happen. While I know that--have known it for a very long time, it certainly never hurts to be reminded.

I was also interested to note that Mark attended Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri around the same time as my husband! I think Mark was there a year or two earlier, but they still may have briefly crossed paths!!!

It also fascinated me to read that Mark went through an experience very similar to mine where he almost died and had a foot of colon removed! I had 8 inches removed!!! And I almost died, too!

If you haven't read anything by Mark Batterson yet, I would say that beginning with IN A PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY is a great place to start!
