I don’t actually hate the curriculum and am more schoolish in my thinking possibly than many of you (again due to having had kids in school for 22 years) so this post is for those of you who do use it, or at least would like to have an overview of it…

On this night ten years ago we waited with anxious hearts for this one more night which was to make the difference between teams of doctors and nurses working to save – or not – the life of our first little (tiny) grandbaby. 22 weeks and 6 days gestation – certain death… 23 weeks gestation – full support and a chance at life.

I have been thinking a lot about the difference and overlap between the need for redemption and the need for forgiveness.
The transaction at that fateful tree, transferred the birthright of all Eves children from the Kingdom of Light, to the Kingdom of Darkness when she believed and acted on the persuasions of an upstart Prince – over the presence, blessing and promises of the King of All.

Do you have a current verse or passage that God is burrowing into your heart? This has been a major one for me for the last 3 months or so…

Assumptions are beliefs we don’t think about but do act upon. They are a hidden or subconscious thoughts from which our attitudes, actions, behaviour or decisions can be made.
Dictionary: “Something accepted as true without proof”

It is a very good thing that God isn’t like me. My interest in raising these tomatoes lasted longer than in my usual horticultural efforts, but it still waned. After a couple of months I was forgetful and busier in other directions and sure as you like, I forgot to keep watering, checking, restaking. Thankfully Rod noticed my usual gardening habits had kicked in and he picked up on the watering so they didn’t die but their yield won’t be as big as if I’d maintained more thorough care in the early weeks.

I came across a clip the other day exploring the meaning of the Hebrew word for ‘placenta’. I don’t know if it’s a bit of a stretch but having done some of my own scratching around I do find it plausible. The word in Hebrew is “shilyah” and it covers not only the placenta but also the afterbirth/umbilical cord and is also used as “toward her young one”.
‘Shilyah’ is a compound word made of “shil” (Shilo) and “Yah”.
‘Shilo’ means: “The one to whom it belongs”.
“Yah” (or Jah) being: a short form of Yahweh the proper name of God Hebrew Bible.
So what?
Referring to the entire contents of the womb, the products of conception… “Shilyah – The One to whom it belongs – Yahweh”
I often have said and heard other say how much they *hate* conflict and I never once ever have heard anyone say they like it.

Sitting down to lunch with a friend recently, we were talking about how we need to pay attention to our feelings, but to be careful how we interpret them as if we interpret incorrectly, we can make damaging decisions and false moves.
