My profound thought is what Jesus says before He is officially betrayed by Jesus. We say when a person loves Jesus He will reveal Himself to them. To be its like sex in marriage. But Jesus meant He will help the person see Him for Who He is. I believe He is saying that revealing comes through intentions.

Today I had a disturbing thought.
Every generation I have seen reaches late teens through 20s and gets condescending to their elders. It's like they pat older generations on the head and say, "There, there, it's okay. We know you're old and out of touch. But it's our turn to decide what is good and normal now. We know, we know, you don't like it, but that's just tough beans. Now take your geritol and toddle off to bed."
Then when they hit about 35 they say, "Wow, we were IDIOTS back then!"
The problem is, the current late teens through 20s are the most condescending I have ever seen. When they hit the "Wow, we were IDIOTS back then!" stage they are going to have to eat a lot of crow. And I don't think they will be able to do it. The human ego can only take so much.
But the easiest way to not admit you were wrong... Is to double down.
In about 15 years or so, I think I want to be living on the moon or something. It might get a lot more unpleasant around here.

Anyone give a thought to the number 12? I was reading in Mark the other day and the story of the miracle of the 2 daughters.... You know where Jesus saves the 12 yr old little girl from death and then the woman who had bled for 12 yrs and found no answers....Jesus chose 12 disciples, 12 months......12, 12, 12. I did a little digging and found that spiritually 12 is supposed to represent new life. Any thoughts?

Howdy Hj and welcome to the forum.
Be careful with that numerology stuff. Every time I see someone go down that rabbit hole, they never come back up.
I mean sure, sometimes numbers are important in the Bible. But EVERY time I see the number two, it doesn't mean the thing numerology claims the number two means. Even Freud said "Sometimes a banana is just a banana."
