Hint: Never boil water in an open
pan. Water will come to a boil
faster and use less energy in a kettle
or covered pan.
The pineapple is a most exotic
fruit. For one brief period during
its long life cycle, a pineapple plant
puts on a floral display as dazzling
as an orchid.
This fruit requires more land
preparation than almost any other
crop. It takes almost two years to
produce its First crop and then only
gives you one fruit per plant.
That plant producers is only one
more workable marketable crop
before it has to be knocked down
and new plants started.
Unlike bananas, pineapples do
not continue to ripen after they've
been picked, which means they
must be left on the plant until
they're fully ripe and have reached
maximum sweetness.
Shell color is no indication of
whether or not that magic moment
has arrived. Once picked the
pineapple has only about three
weeks before their quality starts to
slip. T?y a pineappli that has been
flown into your area.
A bit more expensive but a lot
more flavor. Worth a try.
Background Scripture: Genesis IS.
Devotional Reading: Hebrews 6:13
) 20.
The Time: Any Sunday morning.
The Place: Your Church.
The Occasion: The Sunday morn
ing worship service.
The time has come in the service
for the Pastor's announcements.
But before he can begin to read
from the worship bulletin, a man
stands up a few pews in front of you
and in a quiet tone that neverthe
} less reaches the far corners of the
sanctuary: "I'd like to share with
you this morning a most wonderful
experience that happened to me a
few days ago. 1 had a vision in
which God called me by name and
said..."
We don't have to carry the little
story any further for its sheer
absurdity to become quiet evident:
I it has probably never happened in
'your church and it is never likely to
do so. For one thing, it would seem
that people don't have that kind of
experience any more and, for
another, if they do, they know
better than to tell of them in
church.
Yet, none of us think it particu
larly surprising that Genesis 15
begins with this declaration: "the
t Lord came to Abram in a vision..."
"in fact, the whole story of Abram/
Abraham is the direct result of his
mystical revelations from God.
Although Abram was at an age --
the retirement years -? when most
people have settled into a definite
pattern (read "rut," if you like),
the visionary messages which
Abram received from God changed
both his name and the whole course
fcof his life, not to mention the
"world.
Most of us have been raised in a
culture which, despite our religion
or because of it, has managed to
indoctrinate us into rejecting any
thing visionary or mystical. We are
dutifully respectful of the role
visions played in the Bible, but we
assume that both the growth of
intellect and reason have made the
mystical obsolete at the very least.
) It is interesting and ironic,
therefore, that today various sci
entists and others are telling us that
our minds comprise two very
different faculties: reason and in
tuition. The left side of the brain is
the reasoning faculty, whereas the
right side of the brain is much more
intuitive ("mystical" some would
say). We have too much relied upon
the left side of our brain. The
well-balanced person will use both
kinds of faculties.
In Genesis 15 we find Abram
doing just that. Seeing and hearing
God in a vision, he attempts to deal
with it in a reasonable way: "But
Abram said, 'O Lord God, what
wilt thou give me, for I continue
you childless...?' " Abram's life
was transformed because in re
sponding to God he used both his
reason and his intuitive faculties. If
you would hear God's voice, you
must do no less.
