Whom Thou Choosest

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
(Psalms 65:4) KJV

Sometimes we just need to gather up our thoughts. We can ponder things in such a way that we see a theme, and then we develop the theme by picking through some scripture. The word chosen occurs in a couple of Jesus’ parables.

The Donkey’s Jawbone

And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and with it he struck 1,000 men. And Samson said,
“With the jawbone of a donkey,
heaps upon heaps,
with the jawbone of a donkey
have I struck down a thousand men.”
(Judges 15:15-16) ESV

The universe is both young and ancient simultaneously due to a phenomenon called gravitational time dilation (GTD). 2 Peter 3:8 is a mathematically accurate equation for GTD. We call it the Donkey’s Jawbone.

Church Custodian

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
(Psalms 84:10) NKJV

In September 1999, thinking that we were called to full-time Christian service we took a job as custodian of a large Presbyterian church. It was very disappointing as we met more and more people who knew nothing about the Bible, just how to play church.

WS First

Today we want to give a big THANK YOU to winstonsalemfirst for their 30 Days of Prayer stories on Instagram. We stumbled onto it at a moment when we needed an encouraging word and it was exactly what we needed, right when we needed it.

A writer, scribe: γραμματεὺς – grammateus

And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
(Matthew 13:52) ESV

Deduction is a wonderful thing. When applied to practical life situations it’s as straight forwards as: when one door closes, another door opens. When the doors are closed the conclusion that we may deduce is: it’s time to stay put.

Blueprint for a Garden

Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
(Genesis 2:15-17) ESV

During the time that we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) were at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill we were the teaching assistant for Biology 43, Local Flora, for two spring semesters.

Nuffield Chemistry

A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work.
(Proverbs 16:11) KJV

When we were taking our ‘O’ levels, grades 9 and 10, we strategically sought understanding of the theoretical anchors which which have been used to build the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop).

Paleaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15) KJV

Our copy of “Paleaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals” came to us back in 1999 when we were living in the woods beside Jordan Lake in Chatham County, NC.

Next Steps

And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”
(Nehemiah 1:3) NKJV

We’re in a stable holding pattern. We have been for quite a while. We’re sufficiently disciplined these days as to be able to establish a schedule and stick to it. We’ve written everyday since November 1, 2017. No days off.
