Psalm 121:1-2: I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Ezekiel 1:1-25: Ezekiel sees a vision of heaven, but his winged creatures just have 4 wings instead of 6 like Isaiah and Revelation. Why, when people are trying to sell stuff they always go to the extreme? Why can't they be like Joe Friday in the TV show Dragnet, "Just the facts, please."
Acts 9:19-31: Saul preaches in Damascus, escapes from there as people trying to kill him. Then he goes and preaches in Jerusalem but disciples there don't believe he has changed. Barnabas tells them, yes, he has and recounts his conversion experience on the road. He debates the Hellenistic Jews but they want to kill him, so his friends ship him off to Tarsus. The last line says now there was peace in the region and the church grew in numbers. People didn't seem to see the departure of Saul being related to the peace. Saul seemed to rub people the wrong way everywhere he went. He should have mellowed out as should religions everywhere.
