I was thinking today, you really can make the Bible say whatever you need it to. There was a verse that was troubling me today (well, it still is something I'm pondering), I just didn't think that the wording that was used was actually in the Bible, so I looked it up. Sure enough it was just as I'd heard, so I looked it up in another version, it said basically the same thing, so I went to yet another version. I did this about 5 or 6 times, until I found one that made more sense in my mind. Then it hit me, why did I have this need to make the Bible fit what I thought, why was I having so much trouble accepting what it said? Justifying it? It is what it is, and God said what He said, there's no changing it, I just have to accept it.
I did some research about David and Jonathan's relationship for YA's this weekend, people can make anything prove what they believe. That's what I was doing today, trying to make the Bible fit me, instead of the other way around.

Oh, you can read what I wrote for YA's at www.perceptivepondering.wordpress.com, if you would like, it will make the David and Jonathan comment make more sense.
