Here's a strange story about a man being sentenced to probation Monday for snatching the hairpiece off the head of another man at a restaurant. The story's really not all that interesting, but the timing is ironic. A friend of mine was sharing with me an interesting story from the Bible that shows one way to deal with this situation: 2 Kings 2:23-25

23Elisha was on his way to Bethel and some little kids came out from the town
and taunted him, "What's up, old baldhead! Out of our way, skinhead!" 24 Elisha turned, took one look at them, and cursed them in the name of GOD. Two bears charged out of the underbrush and knocked them about, ripping them limb from limb--forty-two children in all!


I found the story pretty wild and obscure. I had no idea it was in there. Bible lesson for today - if you make fun of someone, you may get eaten by a bear.

When you say ironic, do you mean made of iron?

Mabye they should teach this in Sunday School!
