Flies
When I think about God sending plagues of flies to the Egyptians so Pharaoh would let the Israelites go, I think…what is such a big deal about flies? Since I have moved to this apartment, I now have compassion for the Egyptians. Every summer I have millions of flies in my apartment. I never had this problem in my other apartment. It is so bad that I sleep with my entire body under a sheet. (Fortunately nights are cool.) I have fly paper all over my house to catch flies. It gets filled up in a day. As I sit on the couch in my living room, the flies crawl all over my legs. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! Then I remember seeing children in
Africa on TV who sit quietly and have flies crawling all over them and they are passive about it. That tells me that the children really are not healthy if they don’t have the strength or desire to shoo the flies away. Anyway, God is a wise God. I bet it didn’t take long for the flies to change Pharaoh’s mind about the Jews leaving.
I’m sooo glad to have gotten your blog address. Now I will check it reguarly. I hope by now the flies have disappeared.
