Comment: Where did Freud get that idea from? It's not hard to make things up, is it?

A Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Johnny interrupted, “My Mummy looked back once, while she was driving,” he announced triumphantly, “and she turned into a telephone pole!”

Trichotillomania falls under the spectrum of Compulsive Disorders, and is characterized by constant pulling and removal of body hair, including hair on head, eyebrows or eyelashes, and other areas. The behavior generally relaxes the person. They feel anxiety or tension, and use hair pulling to relax. The act of hair pulling releases chemicals in the brain that trigger good feelings.

Comment: These people could never make Nazarites. But of course the power of Samson was not in his hair, it was in God. When he played with the importance of his vow in suggesting to Delilah that his strength was in his hair, God allowed Samson to be overcome.

Those who are Christian are often fond of the short prayer, “Lord, have mercy!” It is a good prayer: short, concise and it asks for that which we definitely need. But sometimes we seem to forget what God’s mercy entails.

There was a man named Joseph who had many brothers. They were jealous of him and plotted to kill him. God had mercy on Joseph – instead of being killed, Joseph was merely thrown into a well to die.

But he didn’t die. God had mercy on Joseph. Instead, he was rescued from the well – and sold into slavery.

But he didn’t remain a slave. God had mercy on Joseph. Instead, he was accused of rape by his owner’s wife and thrown into the dungeons.

But he didn’t die in the dungeons. God had mercy on Joseph. Instead of dying in prison, he merely languished for years as the man he had helped forgot about him.

That is God’s mercy: saved from immediate death only to die a slow death, saved from slow death only to be enslaved, saved from slavery only through false accusations and dungeons, saved from dungeons only after years of being ignored and forgotten. We could write this off as an aberration, except it isn’t. It’s fairly typical of divine mercy: we are typically saved from the fire so as to better contemplate the frying pan that awaits us.

At Sea World, our grandson absolutely refused to see the show featuring Shamu the killer whale, but he wouldn’t tell us why. No amount of discussion could get him to change his mind.

Later, when we got home, we discovered the reason for his reluctance. An aunt had told him how exciting the show would be, because “they choose children from the audience to feed Shamu.”
