between the fog

Saturday July 18^th, Mark 6:  26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.  Herod is not the only one in history to discover that when the next morning comes and sobriety returns, somewhere between the fog of what happened and the reality of the end result, that someone who was in control was not you.  Once again, hell is truth seen too late.   Only two things help us see more clearly, God’s word looking forward, and our hindsight that shows us what we didn’t quite get right.
