Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. A truck transporting 50 million bees overturned last Wednesday in Michigan; I guess you could call that a BEE-livery truck. Anyway, the local police department told the residents in the area to BEEware and BEE safe by BEEing inside and keeping their windows and doors closed. It is hard to BEElieve that so many bees were inside that truck. How the truck overturned is none of our BEEswax, but I’ll bet that once the bees were released, the driver made a BEEline for cover. Beekeepers were contacted and were busy as bees trying to collect the escaped insects; once they were finished, I am sure the beekeepers were BEEat. How does one decide to become a beekeeper? As Shakespeare’s Hamlet asks, “To BEE or not to BEE: that is the question.” The BEE-I-BEE-L-E talks quite a bit about bees: The Amorites chased the Israelites like bees (Deuteronomy 1:44), Samson found a swarm of bees in a dead lion (Judges 14:8), and the Psalmist’s enemies surrounded him like bees (Psalm 118:12). Of course, Jesus’ famous “Sermon on the Mount” introduced the world to the BEEattitudes each one of which begins with the letter, “B.” There are actually 74 “BEE commands in the New Testament to which we are to BEE oBEEdient. Here’s one of them to live by daily from Ephesians 4:32, “And BEE kind to one another tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
