Forgotten Gifts

Its a very strange thing indeed learning new things.

Especially if you thought you already knew all there was to know about a person.

I suppose it would be like if your intire life you thought trees gave oxygen, only to find they take it away insted.

Or if you never believed in the supernatural, and you suddenly find yourself face to face with a ghost.

Perhaps your talking to someone about abortions, and you suddenly find out they had one.

Yeah, its a feeling like that.

During confermation two years ago we spent quite a while talking about gifts.

How everyone has a gift, and how back in Bible Days these might of included being a profet, singing, or you know...speaking in toungs.

I always wondered about that last one, it always fasinated me yet I wondered what good it would possibly do to speak in some odd laungage no one understood.

And the other thing I wondered about was why the heck you never hear of these things anymore? People don't open tell you there a profit, or they speak in toungs, or any of that.

Can't say I'd blame them, people either don't believe you or think your crazy.

So standing in the hall yesterday hearing the words 'I speak in toungs' kinda threw me off guard you know?

I didn't know stuff like that still happend! I didn't know that someone I knew so well could contiue to through me completly off my element with one simple fraze.

Again.

So let me ask you this, am I supposed ot act compeltly surprised? Act as though I hear this sort of things all the time? Or question the guy about it until he gets so sick of me he cureses me?

Sure, I never believed in curses before, but I also didn't know people spoke in toungs.

Still.

I don't doubt the Bible, I just kinda thought some of that stuff died out....

Next thing you know, Kristi is going to tell me she sees the future in her pickles.
