To: Kathy in Alaska
We're still having good weather here, although it has cooled off - more like Autumn, finally.
The reason I've been absent so much the last few days is that we've been locked in combat assembling my son Daniel's Captain's Bed. It has been absolute hell - the directions were useless - one page with pictures and type so small that I couldn't make them out even with a magnifying glass. Also, I've been beating myself up physically lifting things, bending down and standing much longer than I should.
We finally finished this afternoon - my thighs are like jelly and my back is out.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I hate when directions are useless. I don’t know why they even bother printing such small type. I hope you write a disparaging letter to the maker. Maybe they will read it and do better in the future.

Back in the late 50s and early 60s the Navy used to have comic books which they gave away at the post office. They were very good and I learned a lot about Navy history from them.
I wish they still did that.

Timely Words
Oct 13, 2014
Read: Proverbs 25:11-15
You may have heard the adage, Timing is everything. According to the Bible, good timing applies to our words and speech too. Think of a time when God used you to bring a timely word to refresh someone, or when you wanted to speak, but it was wiser for you to remain silent.
The Bible says that there is an appropriate time to speak (Eccl. 3:7). Solomon compared properly timed and well-spoken words with golden apples in a silver settingbeautiful, valuable, and carefully crafted (Prov. 25:11-12). Knowing the right time to speak is beneficial for both the speaker and hearer, whether they are words of love, encouragement, or rebuke. Keeping silent also has its place and time. When tempted to deride, belittle, or slander a neighbor, Solomon said that it is wise to hold our tongue, recognizing the appropriate time for silence (11:12-13). When talkativeness or anger tempts us to sin against God or another human being, resistance comes by being slow to speak (10:19; James 1:19).
Its often hard to know what to say and when to say it. The Spirit will help us to be discerning. He will help us use the right words at the right time and in the right manner, for the good of others and for His honor.
Heavenly Father, thank You for using others to
speak words of encouragement and challenge to
me. Help me to be wise in how and when my words
or my silence may be helpful to someone else.
Timely words are works of art.
Hebrew poetry (such as psalms and proverbs) differs greatly from Western poetry. Where Western poetry often depends upon rhyme and meter to artistically tell its tale, Hebrew poetry is dependent upon linguistic devices to paint the picture of the ideas it is seeking to convey. One such device, synonymous parallelism, is found in verse 15. Here, the idea of the first half of the verse is reinforced through a reworded repetition of that idea in the second half of the verse. Another common poetic device is found in verses 11-14, where analogies (notice the word like) form the word-pictures that carry the meaning.
