Some things are not funny or to be taken lightly. This is a prime example.
Because the print in some editions is insanely tiny!
We’re Catholic—we don’t read Bibles!
I had to re-read the Judges story in #7.
We have watched The Chosen, and while it’s good, we also recognize the license taken with the stuff that is not actually taken from Scripture. They did cast some of the characters exceedingly well though.
The Chosen has excellent actors and actresses, which carried the series very well through two seasons. But two characters named Mary are already out of gas. Mary of Magdala is spent because 1) her stupendous level of vice was vastly underplayed, and 2) her deliverance from seven demons took place too early in the arc of the screenplay and was depicted as having taken place entirely out of the public eye rather than smack dab inside the home of a highly put out Simon the Pharisee, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God is already irretrievably stuck in time because 1) she needed to be the most beautiful woman one can posdibly imagine with an apparent age no greater than 33 but is played by an actress made up to appear every minute of 50 and barely as attractive as worn shoe leather, and 2) she is unavailable for a gradual and grace-filled elevation above all other humans before our very eyes leading up to Pentecost because Mr. Dallas, the author producer director, is an apparently unreachably separated brother who can’t afford to confess Mother Mary’s utter freedom from all sin by means of a singular grace of Christ crucified, reaching back in time to the moment of her miraculous conception in the womb of her mother Anne (circa 14BC or so).

“Joel Osteen’s prose is to die for.”
LOL! Joel Osteen. Pfffft!
I fell in love with it early on, and marvel how new and deeper insights are shown to me as each year goes by.
Until He returns or calls me home.
The church doesn’t even read the Bible... Bwhay are you preaching to us for??
11. The "Priest" said that I shouldn't read the Bible because it can only be properly interpreted by a "Priest."
My sister followed his directive (with some frustration) but "Thank God!" she eventually ignored his instruction, was able to learn the Truth, and came to Christ as an adult.
THAT "church" misled her, but now she is saved. Proving that God is merciful, full of grace, and ready to receive all those whose names are written in His Book of Life.
Proof of His judgement will become evident later to those who ignore His Word, His plan, and His Son.
No. 1: It’s in Hebrew.
21. Here in California they say it’s my world now get off it

R is for Resurrection, and for Redemption. Anyone who really wants out of the grave of EGYPT (one of those letters doesn't get along with the.. rest) would be wise to learn how to decode unicode "210" and fast, before its too late.

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH DOUBLE GRAVE
While some ownership argument went on and on over a grave, like Italians all worked up over a parking spot, or somebody a double parked, nofalti er Naftali the cross-country runner of the family was dispatched into the RED tape of Egypt to retrieve the title deed (why rush, speedy and efficient service is not descriptive of bureaucracy, or of Rome in general.. guess ya have to experience the lonnng waits to really know and understand)...
"Deaf" Chushim (permutes to Mashiach) "didn't understand", only saw that his grandfather was being disrespected and his *funeral disrupted*. Chushim, unconcerned with permits, simply cut all the red tape and lopped off Esau's head such that it Rolled into the cave of Machpelah, named for being a double grave.
ROME, EDOM... whichever, both famous for their DOMEs.
Good to keep ahead of the timing, because it's tomorrow's date that is the 210th day of the year, with its holidays and observances, such as International Tiger Day (Tora! Tora! Tora! is the lightning attack, the swift surprise homophone on "tiger") and Lazarus of Bethany (aka Four Days Dead) day.
Bethany. Can you believe there is big mystery over the etymology of the name of the place, because "obviously" whoever came up with "house of dates" got it all wrong.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd go with Beth Hinei, because as long as everybody's alive and present and all hands are raised up for one reason or another:
Don't leave out Pharaoh, because
Ólavsøka is the biggest summer festival in the Faroe Islands... The literal meaning is "Olaf's wake"... Like several other Faroese holidays, the vøka begins the evening before.. (wiki)
Olaf, from the Old Norse name Áleifr meaning "ancestor's descendant", derived from the elements anu "ancestor" and leifr "descendant"
Eats shoots and leaves, the world turns on a punctuation mark.
This is all like the "Kaneh bosem" song, because in concert vids the lead singer has introduced it as "a little song about smoking weed", -- weed, which is conjectured to be the 5th mystery ingredient in the holy anointing oil.
Be that as it may be, or not be, it's an Exodus song about the Spirit of Elohim, as in out of the mindset of Egypt that has already predetermined the fixed meaning, because it all goes downhill from there. No Vision -- it's the place where people perish. Good thing for ski slopes. They come with lifts.
Great album cover. It's a "Brand New Day", with a sky that is the sailor's warning. And yet people longed for a sign from heaven.

Serach the search lady, the daughter of Happy, knew exactly where the bones (framework) of Joseph had been stashed deep cover for so long.
They were sunk deep in de Nile, which isn't just a river in Egypt.
How to escape, how to escape... it's just like everybody says, the famous quote that is here, there, and everywhere (aka passim), from *Stripes*:
"Lighten up, Francis."
(It's even a snowclone on this very thread.)
I like this dialog from the movie "Oscar":
You knew.
Of course I knew! I just had no idea.

The Do'h of the Dawn says, It's a brand new Day.
The dark side never learns because already knows everything already.
Q.E.D. It's symbolized by a tombstone.
It’s on my summer reading bucket list this year. Been wanting to read the whole thing straight through for decades. I admit skimming through some of the genealogies and such. Was progressing along at a pretty good clip up until Psalms - seems like each one makes me stop, re-read, and pray.
I also skipped Job for the time being - I have a well-worn, pre-owned, leather-bound paperback size Bible that’s inexplicably missing several pages of it. I have plenty of other copies, but this one is my travel companion.
