A Bat and a Bible by Timothy S.


Look at this. What do you see? Yes, you are right, this is a bat. But don't confuse it with one of the 900 species in 187 genera, and 19 families. So yes, this is a bat, and it hits home runs in one swing motion based on precision. It's been held by Mark McGuire, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffery Jr., and Babe Ruth. This bat is powerful, and can be dangerous without the proper instructions. According to my research, it's either smooth wooden, or a metal club. It's played in a sport that the majority of us love, but it's also a game that makes some of us shrugs. This bat I'm holding can be no more than 2.75 inches in diameter, and no more than 42 inches long. When the pitcher throws the baseball, you have to hit it strong with your body position in a motion that is correct. This bat in my hand can get dirty, therefore, you have to clean it like Ted Williams in alcohol to stay light; bats can pick up dirt, so every night it should be wiped down for re-use. This bat is designed with a barrel to keep hot, because when the ball is coming at you, it's created as your sweet spot. For self-defense, this bat is also a club like weapon, which was sold rapidly in the 2011 riots. The wood version of a bat should always be used "label up", or "label down" to reduce chances of fracture; perfect practice makes perfect if anyone hopes to be a Master at the level of swinging this bat with skill. So now ya'll can see what my bat can do. But I feel compelled to show ya'll something stronger. It's not a gun, or a knife that's a few inches longer. It can be carried in your pocket, or in your bag as you travel, but I'm not sure if it'll stay on a horse as you saddle? Here it is; the Bible. A hand-held device that's now accessible through the web. Its' forever famous like a celeb, and some of these Bible show Christ words in red. Are you hungry for wisdom and seek to be fed?-then this is the bread that's worth eating for your Spirit. It's written in 66 books and begins with the Pentateuch, beginning at Genesis, and ending at Revelation. This is a weapon in my hand that's more deadly than a bat, with 150 Psalms illustrated in pure facts. Okay, it looks like one of those ancient books that may take centuries to read, but once its' open, any incarcerated mind is freed. It's the key to every door you're struggling to enter, and can help you during the days of lowliness. In synthetical, ascending, synonymous, and antithetical parallelism within King Davids' songs. This book I hold in my hand is filled with power unlike anything we can imagine; it's built in action perfectly formed in fashion that's delivered with hope and joy if you're sadden. With true stories like Joshua and the Israelites circling the Wall of Jericho, blowing a Ram's horn 7 times way before we had stereo's. And it doesn't end there! How about the boy David dropping giants with just a sling-shot? Or Abraham giving a tenth of His wealth to Melchizedek? The information in this Bible are everlastingly intelligent, because the LORD's way are higher than our ways excellent. Taste and see that the LORD is good in this sword that I carry by speaking His words out loud to yourself; "I love the LORD, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live!" "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But His delight is in the law of the LORD!" "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in Spirit and in truth." "If any man will come after me, let Him deny Himself, and take up His cross daily, and follow me." The list goes on and on through Christ words publicly printed. This Bible is gifted in every answer to the questions towards the senseless man driven in sin. When you turn the pages, every biblical information can be researched for proof, and then you're inspired to share it to all nations from the roof to be shouted and scream. Ya'll know what I mean? God wrote in this book through men minds conservative with no ingredients added to His product; preservative. You have to open this Bible in order to study the prophets to connect the dots that's drawing closer to the cross. Better yet, I wouldn't call this a book, no way, I'm incorrect-this is God's love letter to every dark soul that's indirect. It's fun to play with a bat to win games for status, but when it comes to this Bible the mercy of Christ is added.
