Prophet Power

The famous prophet tandem of Elijah and Elisha have popped up in my reading lately. These two guys--relatively speaking--don't get a lot of ink. Their exploits appear only in the Kings. Despite not appearing as much as say, Moses or David, they made an amazing impact as two of the more powerful men of God to every walk the earth.

Some of the miracles they performed are some of the greatest ever written down. Elisha seemed especially flamboyant when it came to miracles. Some even borderline on bizarre (sending bears to attack youths that called him a bald head). And even though I don't really completely understand every act of these two prophets, it's fun to read about the power of God working through men.

On a completely unrelated side note, ESPN's new NBA commercials are some of the best I've seen. Especially this one featuring my Celtics...
