        Brother Tyler and Brother Richard,

    I'm sending this to you first because I don't know if it's 
appropriate for Higher-Fire. I think maybe you'd better check it out 
first. Decide amongst yourselves and let me know...????  It's 
completely up to you!!

    We've all heard about the tongue slip "Livers of Riving Water". 
Well here's one I hesitate to print because I would "never" wish to 
offend anyone but the more I think of it the more I think it should be 
shared and I do believe that you'll understand, because it "really did 
happen"!!  I have sent this to a few of you privately asking your 
opinion and the answers I got back were "go for it" so I believe I 
will. =)

    My brother-in-law who is one of those firey, short, jump for joy 
preachers was preaching about Balaam and the donkey. He was in Numbers 
22 around the 24th verse and he was really getting with it.....

   24 But the angel fo the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a 
wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

  25  And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thruse herself 
unto the wall, and crushed Baalem's foot against the wall: and he smote 

her again.

  26  And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under 
Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a 
staff.

  27  And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto 
Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these 
three times?

    

    Then he said,  "That's pretty bad when God has to speak to you out 
of the ass of a donkey"!!!


    All was very quiet!!!!


    Then a great "wooping" laugh from a ladies voice. It was his 
sister!! Then the whole place fell apart laughing.  It's a good thing 
he's a good sport and a nut himself!!  That's what got him through it!
