Queen Esther

See how small a fire it takes to set a great forest ablaze!—Jas. 3:5.
The point of James’ illustration is made clear in verse 6. “The tongue is also a fire.” The tongue represents our ability to speak. Like fire, our speech has the potential for causing great harm. The Bible even says that “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Prov. 18:21) Of course, we do not stop talking just out of concern that we might say something harmful, any more than we refuse to use fire because we fear the damage it might cause. The key is control. If we control fire, we can use it to cook our food, warm our bodies, and light up a dark night. If we tame our tongue, we can use its power to honor God and to benefit others. (Ps. 19:14) Whether we use sounds from our mouth or signs with our hands, the ability to communicate our thoughts and feelings is a marvelous gift from God. This gift, however, should be used to build up, not tear down.—Jas. 3:9, 10. w15 12/15 3:1-3

All the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction.—Rom. 15:4.
God did not restrict his communication with humans to Hebrew. After the Babylonian exile, Aramaic became the everyday language of some of GodÂ’s people. Perhaps to indicate what was to come, Jehovah inspired the prophets Daniel and Jeremiah and the priest Ezra to record portions of their Bible books in Aramaic. Alexander the Great later conquered much of the ancient world, and common, or Koine, Greek became an international language. Many Jews began to speak that language, leading to the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. This translation, thought to have been done by 72 translators, became known as the Septuagint. It was the first translation of the Bible and one of the most important. The work of so many translators resulted in varied translation styles, from literal to rather free. Nevertheless, the Septuagint was viewed as GodÂ’s Word by Greek-speaking Jews and later by Christians. w15 12/15 1:4-6

What a lot of work for the brothers! May Jehovah's help them and bless their efforts!

Yeah, it was a real tiger .... and sleeping.  I saw it breathe.  I have no idea why it was so docile.
I would have "distracted" it if it woke up, and Michelle knew this.

Hahaha....  @James Thomas Rook Jr.   I believe,  you've a deal /contract with  "007" !!  YES

Yeah J.R.Ewing ... I remember the day I realized I was 40 years older and growing bald.
Perhaps it was just gravity pulling the hair down.
At least ... my eyebrows grew back!
 



Since I need to stay on topic.... weren't most Mummies, actually Daddies?
.

I like that Michelle Rook  picture? Why the tiger is so tame?  A real one?  Very rare ! A great shot ! 

fear and trembling ....

We better catch some shuteye, Otis. JTR is at it again. Something tells me we're going to get a call from TopCat O'Malighan tomorrow 

TTH:
You need to feed or recharge your dogs more often.
My daughter's CAT could take either one,  or both of your dogs.

I posted this story before longer time here. Very heart-touching, yes Â Â Thanks for the very thoughtful story ! 

WOW,  @James Thomas Rook Jr.....  You've a good fantasy like me 
Jehovah really created some weird creations in our eyes,  but all have their sense,  thats  my  personal opinion ! 

Next time it may not be just your furniture, @James Thomas Rook Jr.

By the way, the MIDDLE picture is my favorite ... looks like a squadron of F-15 fighter planes, heading to Iran.

(hehhehheh)  Just kidding ... it DOES NOT look like a squadron of F-15 fighter planes heading to Iran.
