Here's a riddle: 

What prophetess spoke God's word, died faithful, bit will never have a resurrection?
 

[Tortuga]

Balaam's donkey?

[nicolette]

Yes!!!!

[Loopy]

That was cool! Never thought of the donkey as a prophetess. 
 

 

[daydream]

Num 22:22 And the anger of God began to blaze because he was going; and Jehovah’s angel proceeded to station himself in the road to resist him. And he was riding upon his she-ass, and two attendants of his were with him.

Neither did I. 

Read numbers 22:26-31

Read the footnote for verse 28. 

[daydream]

Num 22:28  Finally Jehovah caused the donkey to speak*, and it said to Baʹlaam: “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”

* Lit., “opened the mouth of the female donkey.”

Riddle... 
You measure my life in hours and I serve you by expiring. I’m quick when I’m thin and slow when I’m fat. The wind is my enemy.

It sounds like clouds but I think the answer is more complicated than that.

[Wayne]

Not more complicated, but not clouds.

A candle.

 

Candles generally have a time limit of how long they burn for.

By being lit on fire, they are expiring their life span.

Thin candles burn much faster than fat ones.

And a breeze can put the candle out.

 

There was a old TV show "hey Hey It's Saturday" here in Australia where they had a segment called "Red Faces". It was a rough version of a talent quest where there was some funny acts that came on, and if you either good or bad, you may get "Gonged" by Red Symonds, the judge that everyone feared. There was a skit on that segment that most Aussies may have seen. It is two girls who cant blow the candle out. Click on the link below as there isn't a version on Youtube.
