February 9th: Exodus 17-18, Psalm 72 and Mark 5

That's some good advice from Moses' father-in-law there in Exodus 18.  You could probably create an entire branch of government based off of these principles... oh wait... That Jethro, smart man, notice he didn't show up until after the plagues?

Who said that God doesn't speak to you through other people?  Just be sure that what they tell you is backed up in scripture. In other words, I probably wouldn't have listened to Marshall Applewhite.  Outside of the shoe selection, that was some really bad advice.  

I'm learning right now that the wise counsel of trusted friends has some serious value.  Just make sure your "Jethro" isn't from the backwoods of Arkansas.*

OK, the conference I'm at is winding down... I'll try to write longer posts next week.

*Sorry Arkansas, nothing personal
