Job 25: Mark 13&14

A small verse this morning has me thinking...a small verse in a larger picture. But this morning this verse in that story has me thinking. Mark 13 verse13 I think....a man carrying a water jar.
Jesus telling his disciples in looking for where to have the last supper, has them look for a man carrying a water jar and follow him and ask the owner of that house....would a man generally be carrying a water jar?
I just wonder, having been to SA and seeing it is a womans job to fetch and carry the water if this was a humbler man?? Not an ordinary sighting, giving them more clarity on who to follow??
I don't know just in combination w/all the talk of end times and how easily we will be deceived, even those who ought to know better.
How those times w/be beyond description and how NOW we are called to be different, look different, think different and until the think is first we can't be or look any different.
And how freakin hard it is to think different, how I fight and wrestle against all of it....and yet You don't stop trying to help me get there, into thinking differently.

Dang I used the word think alot.....I do....think alot and You are calling me to acting on it??
I am such a ......wanting so badly what I want...to talk to people about You and yet not people that already know...people who don't and I don't know how, maybe will never know......that's frustrating and kind of lonely.....
