The first thing

That I saw Lily do that was odd happened that night at study tables. I was just sitting there reading my notes from a lecture and I happened to see her send a text message to someone. No big deal. But when she got a message back from whoever she'd sent the first message to she just happened to lay it on the table with the message still open. It had a bible verse on it. So yeah maybe that's not really weird, but it was a strange verse. The only reason I saw it was becuase she left the table for a moment and her blackberry was still laying there. It was just enough at an angle because a notebook was underneath it. It said something about 'falling from heaven, star of the morning" or something like that.

I felt weird that I saw it at all. But later I looked it up because seriously how many people do you know who receive bible quotes as text messages??

So this is what I found when I googled those terms..

Isaiah 14:12
"How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn!"

I had never actually heard that bible passage before..and I wasn't sure what it meant. Here is some info on it from a bible search engine thingy:

"The name Lucifer has often been understood to be another name for the devil or the satan. This identification has a long history in the church, going back to at least the fourth century. Its origin is actually from a passage in the Old Testament from the book of Isaiah that, to some, speaks of a being cast out of heaven because of pride."

So um, yeah weird right? I mean WTF?

  1. If you want people to believe your story give more details.

  2. I'm afraid if I just lay it all out there that no one will believe me. I guess it doesn't really matter, sometimes I don't even know what to believe. How do you tell someone something that you know they are going to say you are crazy for saying?

  3. No one believes you anyway. Fail.

  4. Lots of people get bible verses e-mailed to them.
    Perhaps "Lily" had a question about the origins of Satan.
