I'm back. I was buried under research and exit papers. However it did earn me this . I'm pretty proud of it. It makes my second associate to go along with my RBA. I will have the second bachelor probably this fall. I will have my M.Div. in May 2023 Lord willing and my MSW by 2025 Lord willing.


"Prompt:
Psalm 89:15-18
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Explain these verses."


I would honestly have to research this in depth before I could give a definitive exegesis of it. I do know that it appears to be a messianic prophecy. Israel long expected the Messiah to establish a material kingdom. When Jesus came many thought He would battle the Romans and set up the Messianic kingdom. It is my belief that Judas's motivation in betraying Him was to try to force His hand. Judas expected Him to fight and cast off Roman rule. That is why I am constantly warning those who have preconceived notions about the end times to just wait and find out. Jesus is indeed coming back. When, how, and what that will look like remains to be seen. I do not believe it will be the way any of us expect.

"Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Twikkie and found this planet:

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #2245927 by Not Available.

Write about this poem today for your Blog entry."

I love this poem. It has good flow and a rhyme scheme. It is almost sing-song in nature and those are my favorite types of poems. I did not do a syllable count and I am lousy at beats but I believe this poem to have some type of definite meter. My hat is off to the author.

Geese are not very sociable birds. I grew up on a farm where we raised geese. It was not unusual for a goose to sneak up from behind and bite you on the calf. When the do that they bite down and twist their head, in effect giving you a painful pinch. They usually did not harm me because I fed them their corn. However, if they had already eaten their fill of something else they could be mean creatures. One of them attacked me once. He was delicious!

"Prompt: "It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened." ~ Philip Sidney
Write about nature and palm trees."

I must live a sheltered life. I do not recall ever having seen a palm tree. I know I must have because I was in Florida. However, I do not recall seeing one before.

Easter, Passover, or whatever holiday people celebrate has to be much better this year. Last year I was in lockdown with the rest of the world and did not get to celebrate at all. This year I plan to be in church in the morning and have chapel that evening. I have a big PowerPoint presentation planned.
