But that is the beauty of Judaism! Abraham? flawed. Moses? flawed. David? flawed. Hezekiah? flawed. the people? good.bad.good.bad. etc. BUT! Abraham was praised by G-d! Moses walked with G-d, David was G-ds friend. etc...
Gen26:4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws."
You see, there is no requirement to be perfect. Life is a struggle of our inclination to do evil (Yetzer hara) and to do good (Yetzer tov) There is only a requirement to do your best to love HaShem (G-d) follow His commands as a blue print for life! Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the bible. 176 verses of David speaking of his love of the Law. Paul says it is a curse. NO! It is a delight to serve G-d, do his will, it repairs a fallen world! Why? Because He loved us first! Our response should be to love Him in return by doing what he asks of us!
How's that harvest? Hopefully you have a cab with AC and a good stereo.
Harvest is going smoothly. AC, yes. Stereo, yes, but I don’t listen to it. I want to be able to hear a possible mechanical failure as early as possible.
My sis lives in WA, near Wenatchee. Been there, but don’t like the nearly desert soil and shortage of rainfall.
Still have more to reply to on earlier comments, but have to do more study as time permits.
