I haven’t done this for a while, so first a short update.  I sat in on class this week, and it has been a lot of fun.  I really think I would enjoy doing Arrowhead over again.  This week has been II Corinthians, I, II, and III John.  Work has mostly been web stuff, though I did get Jim (he is our new facilities guy) hooked up to our network, and gave him access to our server.  I am finally getting over all of my various illnesses.  I’ve been sick with one thing or another since Christmas, and I’m relieved to finally be feeling better.

Proverbs 17:5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

17:9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

17:10 A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.

17:27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.

II Kings 6:16-17 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked ands saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

I pray that my eyes will also be opened, and that I will not be afraid.

6: 18-23 explains how God captures the army from Aram, feeds them, and sends them on their way. Even here in the middle of the Old Testament God has His people taking care of their enemies.
