I'm delighted that Sue Wale has written this week's Thought. We are so grateful to everyone who is writing for the site at the moment.
Last week I received a super quiz from the Renshaws. The task is to find 30 books from the Bible 'hidden' in the text. Here it is - happy hunting! So far I've located 19, but Sylvia and Peter tell me they have got up to an impressive 27!
In a few minutes we are due to hold our weekly Church Officers' Meeting by Zoom and tomorrow you'll be receiving the Minister's Letter written, this week, by Erna.
May you know God's blessing and joy in all you do today.
Find the names of 30 books in the Bible from this writeup:
This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman, in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john-boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist, was so intrigued by it, she mentioned it in her newspaper column.
Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving; she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam; especially since the books names are not necessarily capitalized.
Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which features this puzzle, the Alpha-Delta-Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record.
The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, The books are all right here, in plain view, hidden from sight.
Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also keep in mind, that punctuation & spaces in the middle are normal.
A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus. There really are 30 books of the Bible, lurking somewhere in this paragraph, just waiting to be found.
