When strangers came and met new clean folks they shared their viruses and ills. Often this collapsed an entire civilization. Where human immunity and the unclean meet is challenging. As we see with a pandemic. Some may not need masks. However some…Read more

As I say it similar to our National Put Prevention Into Practice initiative. Obeying the statutes in this book helps to promote overall health.

We know not all regulations apply to all . . Special needs folks do have special issues.

Some were forgotten even in…Read more

I loved Mary’s summary! I admit my perplexed brain struggled with the idea of death or suffering that seemed so easy for people. And I wondered (as the author noted her feminism) how she might feel about abortion. Is abortion a sacrifice? I thought my v…Read more

The rabbi gave interesting insight. Still has questions we can’t fully resolve. A lot cultural and I like Mary’s assertion of the unexpected. 🙂

Interesting that the communities had prophets. Hosea is pretty tough read in parts. God pretty angry. I am deeply humbled by his forgiveness and willingness to in fact forgive. May I not ever lose sight of this gift.
Thanks.

And concur with her thoughts as well as one of your verses. . And some of prior study; perhaps our actions are demonstrations of our true faith. Our demeanor, kindness, smiles, sharing speaks way louder to others than our words.
And reminds me of Jesus’ parable of the man who says he w…Read more

Important . . Yet hard. A man of God, of peace . . Not understood and put to death. Always pains my heart.

The story of David has always concerned me. And I so get the ‘people suffering’. During times of war especially . . Men fighting to protect and then spouses perhaps running amuck or gents not in the army usurping and coveting others ‘possessions’ – reflecting how at that time what we women were. Hard t…Read more
