“Be holy because I , the Lord your God, am holy.”

“I am the Lord your God.”

“I am the Lord.”

When I came in my reading of the Bible to Leviticus chapter 19 I was surprised to find what is written above at least 17 times – I hope I have counted correctly -in those 37 verses of the chapter.

“Laugh! It’s still the best medicine,” you can read in Reader’s Digest. I really laughed when I read the following in the January 2010 Age Concern Newsletter.

The Beginnings of Man

A little girl asked her mother, “How did the human race appear?” The mother answered, “God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so all mankind was made.” Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.”

The confused little girl returned to her mother and said, “Mum, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?’ The mother answered, “Well, dear it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.”
