They say when you pray to God, go to your alone place. So I went and this is what i saw.
This place was over an hour hike from my car. I put my bible in my pack along with some water. I went there for the sole purpose of spending time in prayer with God. I expected nothing but a view that might remind of the greatness of God. I was just sitting down when this site appeared. I wondered about what I was seeing. Is anyone else seeing this? I thought. The longer I remained in prayer the closer the sun came. After I had finished I stood to my feet and as I collected myself for the journey back the sun spot just disappeared. Maybe this was just a gift for me.
For a perspective, the pine tree next to the trail is 25 ft high. The hill I'm standing on is 165 ft above the water level. The sun spot stayed for over 25 minits coming closer to shore the longer it stayed.

Mean Girls

I know girls who are the sweetest human beings on the earth when it comes to interacting with males.

Those girls are good people. Some of those girls however, become seemingly territorial when another girl comes into the picture. Even hostile.

Here are some examples: Mothers and step daughters, sisters and stepsisters, sisters, girls that call themselves friends, mothers in law and daughters in law, mothers and daughters.

A struggle for hierarchy perhaps. But here is what is see;
One contemptuous female who is very territorial with a blatant contempt for other women, will hold a "simple minded female" in contempt if she were to even say hello to her man.

This man in her life could be her friend, boyfriend, brother, or dad. Any combination or all of them.

The contemptuous female may be highly skilled at subtle flirtatious gestures toward men. So when she witnesses a simple "hello" from another female to a man to whom she believes she has a connection, she can't bear it. It can infuriate her to the point of despising that simple female anytime her man is in the same area with this girl or any girl.

The contemptuous female being "highly skilled" includes but not limited to the following;
She doesn't let anyone see her fury. Both optional and situational but calculated.

She may even try to make friends with the simple girl. Keeping her enemies close.

She can act simple minded or even stupid if she perceives that a man is attracted to that.

She cannot trust easily. Usually conditional.

If she were to read this and believe it was written about her she might try to belittle me in order protect or justify herself.

Because of the intensity of all of the above traits, they intertwine themselves in all other areas of the these females lives. These traits may only be "flareups" at certain times, but ever present.

Because she can act simple minded like the "real simple minded girl", how can she really know that the real simple minded girl isn't acting too?

Because of her distrusting disposition she'll treat most all girls especially the nice ones with contempt.

She cannot help herself. She is stuck in her mind. She doesn't like being this way. Thinking a different way would be like cutting off her own arm. She is a good person down inside and she tries to make up for her shortcomings but doesn't always know how.

Galatians 6:1
Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.
