Nehemiah 5:19 – Remember me, my God. Consider everything that I have done for these people. You know we would want to look at this prayer and think that it is selfish. But truly it isn’t. We might want to say that Yahweh knows everything, and he does. But he does say to ask. He …
Ezra 1:1 – The promise the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah was about to come true in Cyrus’ first year as king of Persia. The Lord inspired the king to make this announcement throughout his whole kingdom and then to put it in writing. So I’m a bit curious as to why books in the Bible were arranged …
Psalm 142:2 – I pour out my complaints in his presence and tell him my troubles. I think complaining has a bad rep. I blame the Israelites for that. All the murmuring and complaining. I think what makes one acceptable to Yahweh and the other not is the spirit in which it is done, “But …
May 30, 2022 Honestly, it is the most amazing thought. To you and back. You are simultaneously in me, around me and at the other end of the cosmos. That you desire to have a relationship with us is incredible. And it does make me wonder though. Why? How is it that you, THE …
May 29, 2022 It’s the end of the day. Well, it’s actually night. Once more being lectured instead of having a discussion or suggestions. Haven’t missed that at all. But such is life. Was able to get a good bit done this evening. Finally found some hidden energy. But honestly kept a quiet day. …

May 29, 2022 CONFESSION: I am a little weirded out by the reality that I slept through our usual meet up time and I don’t know what to do. There wasn’t even a drowsy wake up. It feels monumentally strange. Good morning Yahweh. Thank you for rest and for waking me up this morning. …
1 Kings 18:35 – The water flowed around the altar, and even the trench was filled with water. So this is my totally unspiritual question. Where did they get the water from? They were in a drought! And on top of a hill. Did they talk up and down the hill how many times to …
1 Kings 14:13 – All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be properly buried. He was the only one in Jeroboam’s house in whom the Lord God of Israel found anything good. Wow. No one else was found good. And because Yahweh found …
1 Kings 1:2 – His officials told him, “Your Majesty, let us search for a young woman who has never been married. She can stay with you and be your servant. She can lie in your arms and keep you warm.” Straight face. So none of his million concubines could lie next to him? Why …
