Balaam's Donkey

Numbers22:10-34  Stories of God's unfailing love never fail to warm my heart. So it was quite a treat to read about Balaam. Read on the link above for the Bible version. Here's my take on it. Baalam was some guy that some king assigned to put a curse on a people that have just come out of Egypt. Knowing that it was a command from a king, he'd probably get a lot of moolah for simply doing it. In the first place it was a no-brainer assignment, he didn't have to move much muscles in accomplishing the task.  But the Lord was not happy about it. He instructed Balaam to not do it.

I've been putting off my writing since I came back from vacation, there are too much excuses like back logs, dates, exams, lessons, etc. So, in between recording quizzes, giving out exams, checking laboratory exercises and preparing for lessons, here is my first blog entry for 2013. I had been hoping to write something special to start this blogging year; but the past few days have been a smorgasbord of events and what nots that I'm having a hard time to keep track of things. Here are some of my random thoughts before and during the first two weeks of the new year. 1.

I am just a part-time dog walker, part-time bum and part-time mambobola. But, I LOVE
