No, haven't been watching any movies, just my reading today in Chapter 4 of First John got me to "propitiation", and that got me to visions of Indy.<\/p>\n
Right there staring me in the face was a word that when researched took me to the "Ark of the Covenant" – remember Indy in the temple with the bad guys attempting to steal the Ark? When they opened it, they were struck down (read "killed") by the awesome power they themselves unleashed.<\/p>\n
