Standing Stones

I'm not sure if people are aware of what a standing stone is but you can find out a lot by checking online... different websites will say different thinks, of course. In Israel, the Jews used standing stones as what Americans use as "history markers" on the highway today. Most pass by and just glance, some may wonder "what had happened" and even a few may stop and read. Now, back "in the day" a standing stone didn't have literature on them, except maybe a few in maybe the late, late standing stones... if you were lucky. But most were a sign just to let everyone know that something huge, some historic happened there. And so, I couldn't go to Israel to have my picture taken in front of a standing stone... so I brought one to the "Ballpark in Arlington". Anyway... wouldn't it be great that I could be like a standing stone, that people look and say "what happened here?!" You see, that's what the whole deal of a standing was about.

You see, the Standing Stones, they told about the past. And my life, can not only tell about my past, but it can tell about how a person can change and have a future.

1st Peter 2:4-10

As you come to him, the living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him - you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,” and, “A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message - which is also what they were destined for.

Anyway... just thought this way really interesting. To be a living stone, to be that person, to live that life to where someone could look at me and say "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!" and mean that is a good way, of course.
