What Say You, Prophets?!


As some of you regulars know, I have a 2nd sporadic blog called In-Between Time.

After a long look at Proverbs last summer, I left the blog alone. I was encouraged to hear that some were still working through the posts and the Scriptures. I have gone back a few times myself to review things I discovered. Gotta love the Archives!!

Today, I'm launching a new study on In-Between Time focused on the Old Testament prophets. It will take many, many, many weeks to complete. I haven't counted out the entire look, but it will probably take me into next year pretty easily. That's OK. It's worth the look.

I'm taking on both major and minor prophets beginning with the earliest written prophecy for which we have books in the Bible. This puts the starting place at Obadiah--a one chapter book, shortest in the Old Testament!

If you do not have an active Bible study going right now, perhaps this is of interest to you. But, many of you are active in other studies, and the blog might just become an occasional visiting place. Excellent. Would love your feedback on what gets uncovered; your contributions make studying so much more fun. (It's like munching on M&Ms while you're trying to let that deep knowledge stick in your brain!)

So, check it out. Invite your friends. Perhaps you can fill your in between times with In-Between Time.

Hi. First of all, I LOVE your picture!!

Also, thanks for the nice comment. Although my blog focuses (excuse the pun) on ADHD, I'm glad to know that in real life it isn't the topic...ie....excuse for any type of opps that may occur.
It's fun at times and I don't mind it because it is a part of my individuality....INDIVIDUALITY. lol. But there is more to me than ADHD...I think....what was the question again?

OK, now I'm going to check out your other blog.

Have a great evening.

Heeyyyyyyy

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

When I was 45....

I t was a very good year! (Yep, celebrating again! I hijacked my own blog--LOL!) The glass is half full, and things have never looked more browniful! Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
