Today's Reading February 26

Morning reading from the Old Testament,
Numbers chapters 16 and 17
in chapter 16 we see trouble again, this time a rebellion. The result is that the earth opens underneath the rebels and swallows them up. Along with their wives, their children, their tents and possessions. As today, sin has consequences, and not only for ourselves, but often the ramifications affect all those around us. I have only this consolation - that those who bear the consequences in this life are not necessarily condemned eternally for the sin of another.
