As the group rested, eating from the small reserve they carried for that, and most falling asleep soon afterward, Deseradar asked Finarelem and Solima to show their feet to him and others still awake then. The two were not shy about it and each held their feet up. The sores from the sandals they...
It pays to remember that in the beginning Christianity was not an institution of religion but a movement of humans which grew beyond the borders of the Hebrew people. It was never meant to become a government or a ruling organisation, but a movement of easily manageable home groups or local...
Unfortunately, people saying woe is us have been looking forward to salvation for 2000 years. Times in the past have been a lot worse than they are now although living condition wise, people in the past had a lot less to lose. But perhaps the idea is to not look forward for salvation all the...
All felt fatigued enough that they fell asleep very quickly after stopping at that tree, and none awoke until a little before the sun was going down. No animals other than the small pollinators had been seen around this country yet. Those waking up first awoke the others, and then wood for...
Consider throughout the post Flood era that God had His own chosen people while the rebellious elohim had all the rest of mankind in this world. A world that originally we were cast into from the Garden. A world of adversarial elohim and now adversarial man. A world where God continued to...
Like any creek this one meandered not going in any consistently straight direction. They had come pretty near to the edge of that broad forest of mostly pine, and this fast flowing creek went basically west and not turning back, it drew just a little near the forest as the wandering group...
Positive Biblical Impact
This video challenges us to view the battle of David and Goliath in a new way: through the eyes of Goliath's armor maker, who is struggling to fend off questions from angry Philistine reporters looking for someone to blame.
At the end of the day, the armor maker...
Today, I found this video in my recommended list, so it's my privilege to bring a closer deep-dive examination of Jordan Peterson's thoughts on the Bible as he talks to a Franciscan Friar at a university dedicated to Franciscan education. For reviewing Peterson, I've decided to go deep-diving...
The cycle of sleep was uneven still, then, and for several days afterward, so there was need of sleep during the daytime and still sleep at night too. When the next morning had come, and they continued on from that one tree where they had rested at with their blankets, and came to one more fast...
This blog entry is about some random (but perhaps interesting) thoughts I had about the story I'm currently writing, Kirby and the Rod of Darkness. You can find Part 1 here.

Good Lines
Here are a few lines from the story that could teach a...
The story goes back long before the creation of man, a place in non-time where entities first created the foundation for future rebellious mankind by way of their own original adversarial ways to the will of God. The blinded were preparing to create the blind. For mankind, being adversarial by...
The air of the region was dry and at midday it was very warm, so that the small structures for a few to sleep in any one of those, which was just enough for their need. The cycle of sleep was off, so though they needed more sleep most did not really fall asleep until it was later. It was well...
With repentance, we begin to see life as being about each other rather than focusing on self. Yes we are of the same nature as our fellow worldly predators, everything in existence being food for everything else, but man for some reason beyond a natural survival instinct hunts each other, having...
The first to wake again after all slept long through that day, Rigoted and Tenaspir, saw the sun was low to the west. They woke others and ate from berries and what remained of the nuts and things they carried. Soon all the others were awake, and they went out along the creek together to gather...
It is quite common this time of year to be asked what Christmas means to us.
Well... the Christ's birth is biblical, being as it is recorded in scripture. So there we have one reason to acknowledge it although I am sure Jesus would prefer we concentrate on His death and resurrection as a focal...
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Why did Paul once believe the commandment brought life?
Did the Jews believe the Law of Moses gave them eternal life?

This is a bit off topic but there seems to be a shift in Christianity as of late.
If Jesus is an archangel as many claim in this growing thought trend, then this all becomes about the battle between archangels and all about that war in Heaven we've heard about that started long before our...
There were stones around useful for a base to walls that they found around the creek when they reached but there were only shrubs anywhere nearby, and they did not get wood as long as they wanted, for adding support. They used plenty of leaves still, mixed in with muddy earth around there, and...
Isaiah 24:18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare.
What is the sound of terror? And who is trying to flee from it? What is the pit and the snare?
Look at the title of Isaiah 24: The Lord’s Devastation of the Earth...
While the sun came up again, and all were thinking of coming to a place where they could stop, eat a little from their rations, and sleep enough after all that walking through the night, they could see some small difference in the area through which they currently went. The ground was a...
