If Today You Hear His Voice, Harden Not Your Hearts

(as said in a Boston accent). For some reason that is one of the sermons I recall when attending Catholic church back in Lynn Mass.

I was reminded of West Wing, the part where Leo says to his assistant Margaret "Get the editor of the New York Times crossword on the line, tell him Qaddafi is spelled with 2 d's and not one, and that its not a 7-letter meaning for anything." To which she replies "Is this real or is it a joke?" To which he replies, "apparently its neither".

Thank you to POTUS for that refresher from Season 1, Episode 1.

What if God is working through Qaddafi to achieve some higher mission? Like perhaps the freedom of the Libyan people, but only by virtue of world cooperation.

Working my way through a first reading of the Bible. Its never too late for such things. Some of the passages are amazing. Others are like a magical tale. Others are impenetrable. I imagine over time, say after I've read it all once and can read it again knowing whats there, it will become clearer to me.

Exodus - Pharoh - the Lord hardened his heart 8 times (so far, still reading). Eight plagues on the land of Egypt: the river turned to blood, frogs, lice, flies, dead animals, sores on bodies, thunderous hail, and finally locusts.

Maybe Pharoh could've been a good guy without otherworldly forces working through him, ultimately so Moses and the Israelites could escape their oppression.

What if Qaddafi is being used in such a manner?
