The Folded Napkin




Finally back home from a trip to Orlando with FCS Faculty and our little family. However when traveling with these boys (3-including scottie) nothing seems little.
We attended a teachers conventions for FACCS. (Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools)
It really was a great time. We were able to take some time and go to Mickey's not so scary halloween party, and Universal Studios.
The Convention itself was also pretty cool.
One of the speakers, Dr. Clyde Box, spoke about "The Folded Napkin". A pretty amazing concept that I had never heard.
Apparently when kings would get up from the dinner table if their napkin was tossed on the table this signified to the servants that he was done with his dinner. If the king folded his napkin nicely this meant that he was not done and would return.
This is just what Jesus did in the tomb. He neatly folded the cloth that was used to wife His face during and after His death, which signifies to all of us. he is not done and He will be back.
Pretty awesome..
Anyway, Jescel if you read this by any chance we are praying for you and your hurricane. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you - He is Always with you.
