I have experienced reading of Jewish writings for more than ten years now. One of the first things I noticed is that I had to learn to let go of holding onto things too tightly. If you do any reading of Jewish material, you may have noticed the same thing. It is educational on a …

Blog 155. To Call קרא – Continuing in Genesis 2
There is so much in Genesis 2, perhaps a lifetime of learning. It is so hard to know where to go next. קרא seems like a good step. We mentioned last time that there seems to be more explanation of the language שׂפה in the investigation of cognate permutations for קרא than any other dissection/digestion done so far. And that does …

(See the Doctrine of the Roadfrom our headmaster in Blog 105, also referred to in Blog 131.) A straight line is fastest, but more the way of mankind, not God. I recalled this …
Blog 148. Hailstones
