It was 3rd grade. I walked up to the teacher’s desk like all the others. We picked a folded sheet of paper. Written on it was my first assigned paper. My topic was…
First, I was confused because it wasn’t called what I had always thought. You see I had misheard all those young years.
Second, I was confused again because when I learned what it was called, it didn’t make sense. One of the words didn’t match the definition I knew.
Both of these are common mistakes when interpreting the Bible or interpreting others. Many mishear what is said. Many don’t understand because they are thinking of another definition. This is how mistakes are made between people, and between people and God. We could have an almost endless list of topics, both religiously and just in conversations.
So what was my writing assignment? I thought it was the Silver War. Then I learned it was the Civil War but that didn’t make sense because they weren’t very civil in killing each other.
