This Story, which I shared seven years ago, is about standards.

Hiram loved his rose bushes, but they were getting a bit unruly, so he decided to build a nice lattice-work trellis for them to grow on. His wife Agnes sat on a lawn chair watching him construct the trellis from little one-inch wooden slats, measuring and nailing one piece at a time. (Now you can buy lattice ready made either in wood or pre-finished plastic, but this was the early 1950's). Hiram (was he named after the Master Builder in the Bible? Hmmmm) measured and cut and nailed, measured and cut and nailed, measured and cut and nailed until he had one side completed. Then, he measured and cut and nailed, measured and cut and nailed, measured and cut and nailed until he had the other side completed. After that, he joined the two side with a pergola style lintel, and then proceeded to tie the rose bushes which were extremely thorny, to the lattice. Pretty soon, Hiram was bleeding from the thorns, and was becoming annoyed.

Agnes looked up from her knitting and said softly, "Hi...the holes on that side are bigger than the holes on the other side."

"WHAT!" Hiram exclaimed. "That can't be! I measured it perfectly!"

Then he looked at the ruler he had used...and it had two sets of measurement, American and Metric. Evidently the ruler had been turned over when Hiram constructed the second side of the lattice and was measured perfectly...using a different standard.

"Only YOU would notice the difference!" he growled at Agnes. "It's so tiny NOBODY else would see it."

At that precise moment in the time-space-continuum, my Mom came down the street, pushing the stroller with my baby brother Tom. Tom is two years younger than I, so I was about 3, holding onto the stroller and toddling alongside.

"Good Morning!" Mom said to Hiram and Agnes. "My Goodness what a beautiful trellis! Your roses are going to look lovely on it!"

Hiram beamed with pride as the Three-Year-Old ML gazed upon the structure. Then, with the authority that can only come with complete innocence, I said:

"The holes on that side are bigger than the holes on the other side."

Hiram tore the trellis down and rebuilt it.

The Prophet Jeremiah had predicted a 70 year period where the Jews would be in exile in Babylon. A lot had happened in those 70 years. Regime Change, Shifting Empires, and Prophets reminding the People that they would eventually be going home to rebuild their Temple.

In the 72 years that I've been on this planet, I've changed a lot. But in ll those years, and with all those changes in MY outlook, TRUTH is Truth and has never changed. When Ezra returns to Jerusalem, he will find an old copy of The Law of God, which hadn't been looked at since the Destruction of Jerusalem 70 years earlier.

While the People may have changed their standards in the intervening years, God had NOT. This was going to cause a lot of grief in the days to come.

It is interesting that the name of the canal was Ahava. That means "Love" in Hebrew.

Here in the USA, we had our own Love Canal in Upstate New York. It became a Superfund Site because of Toxic Pollution.

Upon opening the Book of the Law, Ezra found out that his People had become "polluted" in a different way, by marrying into, and adopting the gods, of their Captors. It would take a lot more than "Gub'mint Money" to clean up.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Psalm 78 (17-31)

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They tested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
‘Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
20 Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out
and torrents overflowed,
can he also give bread,
or provide meat for his people?’

21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of rage;
a fire was kindled against Jacob,
his anger mounted against Israel,
22 because they had no faith in God,
and did not trust his saving power.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above,
and opened the doors of heaven;
24 he rained down on them manna to eat,
and gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Mortals ate of the bread of angels;
he sent them food in abundance.
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
and by his power he led out the south wind;
27 he rained flesh upon them like dust,
winged birds like the sand of the seas;
28 he let them fall within their camp,
all around their dwellings.
29 And they ate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they craved.
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
while the food was still in their mouths,
31 the anger of God rose against them
and he killed the strongest of them,
and laid low the flower of Israel.
