scripture
2 Corinthians 13:12-14
Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints send their greetings.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
thought
A recipient yesterday made a valid point that in other cultures outside of western society male friends hold hands as do female friends hold hands in western society. Could it be that this person did not intend for their comment to be taken as I understood it? Another question which this recipient raised was, why isn’t it just as revolting to see violence? Why do we crave seeing fights in sports or in our movies?
funny
While on a trip in the Middle East I was walking with my wife, an American, and an Arab. As we walked I felt a hand slide into mine and turned, knowing that it wasn’t my wife, and saw my Arab friend next to me. I was initially puzzled and turned to my American friend who had seen what happened and was laughing at us. My wife too joined in the laughter while my Arab friend, still holding my hand, asked what the funny was. Then he realized what it was about and said, “Oh, you don’t hold hands in America but we’re not in America and you are my friend”. All the way to our destination we walked and talked while holding hands.

I have a question for you Kyle. Does it bother you that people don't post comments often? I can say that I'm blessed by the Daily Word. Thank you!
