An article in CNN says that archaeologists have uncovered a piece of pottery from the time of King David. They have yet to decipher the text but it should be an interesting piece of history that may make links to King David or at least the culture of his time. There is very little archaeological [...]

Joshua 3:7-17
God makes sure that Joshua is understood to be the new leader. God will establish Joshua with a miracle. The miracle, symbolically and physically, removes the people from the domain of Moses. A new leader, a new mission, a new way of living are coming into being.
I love the song from the Sparks that [...]
Convenient Sins

The internetmonk has a thought and repentance provoking post on those sins that we accept in our lives because they are generally accepted in society. It makes me wonder what our convenient sins are. Perhaps we should think and pray about it.

Deuteronomy 34:1-12
How do we prepare for death? How do we pass gracefully into the next life? Somethings that I notice about Moses: he prepared his successor, he lived well with God, and he had a vision of the future.
The Third

Marvin and Nancy had their baby girl this morning. Although, Nancy would probably say that she did most of the work. Caroline Renee was 6.6 lbs and 19 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well and dad is bursting with pride.
My wife was quick to note that this is the third Carrie in the [...]

Exodus 33:12-23
In a time of doubt, Moses asks to see God. God allows him to see his glory. Again the incredible relationship of Moses with God is at the front. Moses in all his human weakness is able to stir the heart of God.
Moses wants to make sure that God will do what he said. [...]

Exodus 32:1-14
I love how Moses talks with God. He truly fits his role as friend of God. He contends with God for the people after they have denied all that God (and Moses) stand for. Of course, we have the sticky issue at the end that God “changed his mind”. How are we to understand [...]
