Kerr's Korner
Overnight
By John Kerr
When I came home Sunday night nothing looked different at my house. Monday morning when it got daylight I looked out in my yard and wondered how there could be pinecones stuck in the ground in one area of my yard. This would be unusual enough, but even more so since the electric company had all the pine trees in that part of my yard cut down.
Further examination revealed a wonderful treat. I saw thirteen white morel mushrooms. We cooked them the next morning. I can hardly remember anything tasting so good. It has been decades since I found any morels. It was amazing how they just came to fruition overnight. What a great gift from God!
I thought about a character in the Bible who kind of came out of nowhere and was gone about as quickly. Genesis 14: 18Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19and he blessed Abram, saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth.
20And blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
The book of Hebrews teaches how Melchizedek was an antecedent of Jesus. Hebrews 7: 1This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.
What a great gift from God!

Wayne's Wacky Words
| Guava - A shrubby tree or it's mild acidic fruit. The taste of the fruit is often described as a blend of pineapple, strawberry and passion fruit. Sounds like I'd lova me some guava! |
