Accountability Post #14 – Watch out for the Naked People
September 24, 2008
This morning before my run, I got to go see some friends at Kirkwood High School for See You At the Pole. Here’s a shout out to my K-Wood friends (even though, there is only one who will actually see it)!
I also saw this Bumper Sticker on the way home.
The blog I found this on thought this sticker was pretty great, but seriously, this is about as bad as the anti-Bush “Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for him!” sticker. What a grumbly nation we live in! We’ve been given Freedom to do so much, but we use it to openly complain about our leaders. Our leaders are not all men of integrity (…), but they are our leaders, non-the-less. We need to follow them, but be wise at the same time (they are all human, after all).
Isaiah 20 is pretty strange. For starters Ashdod is defeated by King Sargon of Assyria, and secondly God tells Isaiah to walk around COMPLETELY NAKED for 3 years! He’s making a point through Isaiah about Egypt being led captive, and he says they’ll be lead away “both young and old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered.” …um, ok.
But I ask you, after the initial shock factor of about a week… maybe two… where everyone is getting used to you, and you’re getting used to you, would it really be that bad to not have to wear clothes??All the freedom? Not having to match your belt to your, um, shoe laces? Seriously though… you don’t have to answer that.
