Locusts

I don't know if any of this has any significance or not, but I have had a weekend filled with grasshoppers!! Mike and I went to Lenox Square yesterday to do a little shopping and to eat at Great Wraps, because Mike loves their gyros. So, since I am trying to do the diet thingy, I decided to order a gorgonzola (??) and walnut salad from Sbarro's. Looked delicious and even tasted delicious until I almost put a dead grasshopper in my mouth!! Yes, it was a GRASSHOPPER!!!!! A cousin of the locust!!! Needless to say, my appetite was lost and I didn't finish my dinner. Thought I was going to lose the supper right there in the mall. However, I didn't and I also didn't take it back to Sbarro's to show them what they so generously served me in my salad. I probably should have, barring the fact that I might have contracted food poisoning and died and someone could have sued the crap out of them!! But, by the grace of God, I am alive and well today!! Speaking of His grace... When we got home, I got ready for bed and snuggled up with some wonderful reading from Sharon's devotionals and low and behold, what was the topic? The story of the locusts coming and destroying Judah in the book of Joel!! We went to Crossroads in Newnan this morning and what was the message on? The book of Joel and the year the of locusts!! Hmmm... what are you trying to get my attention about, Lord??
