Old-school smackdown
I think there's something to be said for our society's self-defense laws. This rule seems a bit harsh.
Deuteronomy 25:12
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."
Basically, fellas, if you're getting beat up in a fight, your wife can't help you out.

A little help here!
Had to be there
One of the reasons I write this blog is to catalog some of the miracles in the Bible that are never explained. Some of them might get a passing mention in Sunday School, but the reason for many of the miracles is lost to us.
Take this one from Elisha:
Elisha and his posse began feeling that the place they were living was too cramped. So they decided to stake out some riverfront property on the Jordan and went to cut down some trees.
As one of them was chopping, the head of his borrowed axe fell into the water.
The lesson here, perhaps, is make sure your axe head is affixed tightly to your axe handle.
The secondary lesson is that if you're going to chop down a tree, take the prophet with you.
2 Kings 6:6
"And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim."
Anyone have President Monson's e-mail? Tmonson@lds.org doesn't work.
