"re: Launni's dream"


One of the things I love about the Lord, is His sense of humor.  I read The Da Vinci Code when it first came out, long before the uproar over the book.  It was in a box of novels my husband brought home, to tide us over a long, dark winter.  He sweeps up arms full of books in the second -hand stores, and we pick out those we're interested in, as the winter progresses.  By the time Spring rolls around, we've plowed through alot of books (as well as snow)  and if someone were to ask me to list the titles or explain the plots, they would have all melted into a blur of words, as the snow melts and runs down my driveway.  The only reason the Da Vinci Code lodged in my cranium, was the huge publicity it was given by Christians, in the media.  To me, it was nothing more or less, than a poorly written, poorly researched, vaguely amusing thriller.  The fellow could barely spell!  (only those living in northern climates, with a few bouts of cabin fever under their belts, could understand how even the writing on the back of cereal boxes can facinate, at -35 C )
To me, all of the uproar about the book has been nothing short of amazing.  It's like comparing a mosquito to an F-16!  Have we forgotten: " NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAYETH THE LORD"?  Does anyone really believe that if the Lord is drawing someone to Himself, a silly little novel (or even a literary masterpiece)could stand in His way?  After reading countless, dire warnings about this book  (shaking my head in disbelief)...I read Launni's dream this morning and felt a huge bubble of joy rise up in my spirit, followed by some gut bursting laughter. Yes!!!  He is the I AM!!!  Who or what is going to stand in His Way?
