Exodus 15:22-27
I remember the difficulty—it seems minor now, but was agonizing at the time—following my weekend trips to the Ozark Mountains.
Ever since I could remember, my parents would take me up to Fayetteville, Arkansas, on that beautifully scenic road that wound its way to their alma mater.
We'd go about three or four times a year—whenever the Razorbacks played a home football game. That meant it was always in the Fall.
The Ozark Mountains in autumn are truly a sight to behold. Of course, being a little kid, I wasn't all that into the wonderful scenery.
I was excited about a weekend away in a hotel, about going to a football game, and about the possibility of missing a little bit of school on Friday afternoon.
The weekends were usually the same. We'd arrive sometime on Friday evening, check into our hotel room, and then go out to eat.
We'd usually meet up with some family friends at some point during the night.
Then, it was back to the hotel for hanging out until bed. Usually, my friends and I would play football in the hallways of the floor where our rooms were located.
At least, that would last until it got too close to bedtime, where we might disturb those trying to sleep. At that point, we'd move our game into one of our rooms.
Usually, that involved jumping on the beds until time to go to sleep.
Saturday morning meant a trip to the Farmer's Market, located in the downtown square just outside our hotel. Mom would look at crafts and the produce.
I would bring a football—I always had one in hand—to play catch with my dad or one of my friends.
Following that, it would be time to head out to the stadium. When I was growing up, the Razorbacks didn't have lights at their stadium.
So every game was in the afternoon. We'd head out to the game, park on the practice field, and throw around the ball for a bit before heading into the stadium.
Then came the game. During the mid-to-late-eighties, which formed my first memories of these trips, the Razorbacks were nearly undefeated at home.
That meant, more than likely, we were celebrating a win as we walked back to the car. We'd play some more football on the practice field.
And then we'd pile into the car, dirty and sweaty, and head back to the hotel. Every Saturday night was pizza in the room while watching a game on ESPN.
It was heaven, as far as I was concerned. Nothing could be better. That is, of course, until Sunday morning came.
For whatever reason, it always seemed to be raining whenever we woke up on Sunday morning. I once thought that was just me.
You know, just the way a little kid remembers things. But then on one particular trip—when I was older, in high school—my mom commented on it.
"I think it rains every Sunday morning we're here," she bluntly stated as we were packing the car. Sundays in the Ozarks were never as good as Fridays/Saturdays.
I hated going back home. For whatever reason, I just felt more at home up there in Fayetteville. Probably has a lot to do with me choosing to go there for college.
But I remember being sad and gloomy almost every Sunday morning on those trips.
The only thing drearier than the weather was me. There were such high expectations for the trip. And it never disappointed.
It was always the highlight of the week, the month, or perhaps even the year. And now, what was I supposed to do when it was over?
Sure, there would be another one coming up at some point, but no little kid thinks like that. What? I was just supposed to go back to life, as usual?
Get back in the routine with school, homework, no hotel beds to play on, no big football game to attend, and no football in my hand at all times?
That didn't seem like any fun to me. It didn't seem like any life I wanted to be a part of. And yet, that was my life. It was time to snap back to reality and get to work.
And so, here we are on the Sunday after Easter. What an incredible week it was!
Thursday night was certainly a unique blessing. Friday night was moving and poignant. And who can forget Easter Sunday? Who can forget a sermon in the dark?
I promise you, you will remember that Easter for as long as you live. And now, what are we supposed to do? Go back to business as usual? It seems so difficult.
And yet, what did we talk about last Sunday? Easter isn't so much the culmination of things in the spiritual sense as it is the launching point.
Easter infuses everything and everyone with life, so that we can go on living—truly alive in Christ—during the days ahead.
Our passage today, found in the 15th chapter of Exodus, speaks to a similar situation.
We mentioned last week, during the Maundy Thursday service, that the OT equivalent of Easter was the Passover.
God spared the Israelites the plague of death of the firstborn and led them out of Egypt. As you may or may not know, however, Pharaoh wasn't done.
He pursued the people of Israel to the Red Sea. Seemingly trapped, the Israelites were improbably delivered by God dividing the sea.
The Egyptians followed, but they were swallowed up as the Israelites arrived safely on the other side. Exodus 15 comes in the aftermath of that.
I invite you to read along with me as I begin in verse 22. (Read Exodus 15:22-27.)
You probably know how obsessed we are in our society with ranking people, places, and things. This even goes far beyond the sports world.
Magazines release rankings based on looks, wealth, and likability all the time. Sometimes things just shouldn't be compared to other things. Sometimes things flat out cannot be compared. We might think that way in regards to Easter.
The horrific death on the cross and the subsequent resurrection from the dead are extremely tough to top. But the deliverance from Egypt can certainly hold its own.
There was the dramatic death of every first-born in Egypt, which was the culmination of ten astounding plagues.
We're talking about frogs and flies and rivers turning into blood. We're talking about locusts and boils and barrages of hail.
And then, remember that the people of Israel actually plundered the Egyptians upon their departure. It was as though Egypt wanted them gone ASAP.
They even escorted them out of town with fancy gifts, such as all sorts of gold trappings. And then we get to that part with the Red Sea.
Seemingly trapped by Pharaoh's army, God's people walk through a sea that He divided. What must that have been like? Imagine the sights and sounds!
And then, in a giant splash of rushing water, the enemy threat is gone. They are completely and totally free from Egypt.
They celebrate. They rejoice. They likely worship in awe of a God who could do all that. Our chapter today begins with a song of praise from Moses and his sister.
But, now what? What do they do now? Oh, sure, there's the easy answer. Get to the Promised Land. But that answer can be a little bit trite.
You and I have just finished a wonderfully moving Easter week. What do we do now? Wait for the "Promised Land"—or heaven?
That's all well and good, but surely there's something more at play. What about the in-between? Think about these Israelites.
I know that, in truth, they did nothing. God provided all the deliverance. But, after going through something as amazing as that, isn't it tough to press on sometimes?
Doesn't everything else seem to pale in comparison? After witnessing all those plagues, that amazing day when they left bondage, and the whole Red Sea experience, doesn't travelling through the desert seem a little mundane?
And think about it for us. Thursday and Friday nights were some really significant, really moving moments we shared together.
And you will always remember celebrating Easter in the dark—not just because it happened in the dark, but also because you knew God was among us.
And now, here we are on April 7th. There's not really much special about April 7th—unless, I guess, you have a birthday today.
It just seems more difficult to get excited, to get passionate, and to keep pressing forward. So what do we do? Well, we have a few options.
One of them was perfectly demonstrated by the Israelites in our passage today.
They complained. It wasn't long before less-than-ideal circumstances made them forget all that God had done. So they complained.
Let's not completely throw them under the bus here. Notice the circumstances, found in verses 22 and 23.
They left the Red Sea and ventured into the desert. For three days they were without water. And then, one day, they find water.
Unfortunately, it was bitter. It was bad water. It was clearly undrinkable. Didn't take long for God to test them, did it?
Okay, I shouldn't jump to conclusions there. But it does seem as though they are being tested, wouldn't you say?
They learned, while in oppressive bondage, that fully relying on God would be the only way for deliverance. But would they continue to rely on Him?
Who wouldn't trust God as the sea turns into walls of water, between which even the feeblest of people may pass?
Who wouldn't trust God as He was destroying the mightiest army in the world?
But now, can we trust Him with our everyday need of water? Who wouldn't clap their hands, bow the knee, and cry "Risen indeed!" on Easter Sunday?
But what's your response on everyday Tuesday when problems arise at work, there's bickering among your classmates, or your family schedule is full of conflicts?
Too often, our response is just like that of the Israelites. We complain. The effects of whatever special event we've just completed have clearly worn off.
Easter is over. We might get a little boost from Mother's Day or VBS or the Fall Festival. But really, there's nothing to hold onto until Christmas.
Of course, we know that's not the case. But so often we act as though it is the case.
"Well, God, you raised Jesus from the dead. And You've promised to one day raise me from the dead. But my car's messing up a lot this week."
"This fellow at work is really irritating me. My teacher is completely unfair. Money is tight this week and we can't eat out. I feel like I'm coming down with something."
Look, these are all legitimate struggles. I'm not trying to downplay their significance at all. I'm just saying this. It may not be Easter, but He is still risen.
Jesus defeated the greatest enemies we will ever face—sin and death and hell. We have an even greater deliverance available to us than the Israelites experienced.
As you may well know, these complaints they lodged in our passage today were no one-time occurrence. They set the stage for a pattern of behavior.
God's anger blazed forth at these stubborn and insolent people. He even fired warning shots. He decimated the camp. He even killed some of them for rebellion.
You know what complaining is, don't you? It's an overwhelming fascination or focus on the here-and-now circumstances, with no eye on the past or to the future.
And this fascination with the circumstances around us may not necessarily rear its ugly head through complaining. It could be through worry.
It could be through stress. It could be through any number of outlets. We just have to remember that resurrection isn't merely a reality for Easter Sunday.
It's an everyday reality. You and I are called to die to ourselves and our desires every day of our lives, only to find that Jesus raises us up to a new, Spirit-led life.
Likewise, these Israelites needed to remember God's deliverance. They not only needed to hold onto the image of that parted sea, but also another one.
They needed to hold onto the promise that God would deliver them into a bountiful and pleasing new land one day.
That's what I mean when I refer to remembering the past and looking to the future.
God took care of their difficult circumstances. He commanded Moses to throw a branch into the water, and when it entered the water turned sweet.
It was drinkable. Everyone was happy. Circumstances had changed. That's not deliverance, though. That's not salvation. It's relief.
It's always a blessing when God changes circumstances. But I've got news for you.
We are always going to be faced with unfavorable circumstances. They are going to rear their ugly heads, every now and again, until we leave this world.
We cannot remain as functioning and productive servants of God only when the conditions are favorable.
In truth, because of the resurrection of Jesus—and the hope that we, too, will one day be raised with Him—the conditions are always favorable to serve God wholeheartedly and cheerfully.
And God, after providing the relief, still has a little sit-down pow-wow with His people. He's making sure they know where He stands on this issue.
Notice what is stressed. Keep your eyes on the prize. Listen carefully to God. Pay good attention to Him.
You cannot listen carefully to anyone, much less God, if your surrounding circumstances drown out everything and everyone else.
Do what is right in His eyes. We ought to stress those last three words. Lots of folks decide what's right for themselves and then go and do whatever they want.
We are called to do what's right in God's eyes. Seek Him and His opinion before you take off running in whatever direction you want.
Pay close attention to His commands and keep His decrees. We don't just claim Christianity. We follow Christ.
And you cannot follow without paying close attention. Know the Lord. Know His word. Pray to Him and listen for His call on your life.
And, finally, remember who He is. "I am the Lord, who heals you," He told the Israelites. He is on their side, and He's on ours.
He has plans for us—plans to prosper and not to harm. We hang on His word. We remember His promises. And we remember what He has done.
This is how we combat our natural tendency toward complaining, stressing, worrying, and generally focusing on circumstance over Savior.
What do we do now? We allow the resurrection truth of Easter to propel us forward, excitedly awaiting whatever God has around the corner.
What's the better response, as opposed to complaining? It's praying. In fact, we could even offer our complaints to God in the form of prayers.
You see, we'd rather complain to each other, more than likely finding someone who will agree with us and perhaps even enable our further complaining.
But God, when we come before Him—even in the form of a complaint—will begin shaping us and molding us. He won't enable any sort of complaining.
As the old song goes, the things of the earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
To me, that's what made Easter week so special. It wasn't the services or the egg hunt or even the power going out. It was the prayers.
What a blessing it was to know that we had 36 continuous hours of Friendship folks bowing on behalf of our church and our community!
And I'll be the first to admit, when we did this last year, I had big plans for future development of that prayer ministry.
But, somewhere along the way, the fire within me faded. It was nobody's fault but my own—just got distracted, I guess.
But I don't want that for this year. I want us to continue to make prayer a public priority, perhaps even in conjunction with National Day of Prayer on May 2nd.
And I want us to continue the momentum of Easter—the momentum of the resurrection. I want Easter to be that launching point for us.
No more complaining over the hum-drum dreary existence we face. Instead, we rejoice over finding the resurrection at work in our everyday lives.
We will sing. We will celebrate. And we will pray. And we will eagerly anticipate what God might do in our midst.
What do you need to do today to avoid falling into that same trap in which the Israelites found themselves? Do you need to bow before God now?
Whatever circumstances might be dragging you down or distracting your attention, it's always time to get on your knees and return to Him. (Pray.)

Robin Wreaks Havoc on the Office
Never get between a woman and her seltzer
Despite a barrage of emails, bolded signs, and caution ropes, the Stern Show's own Robin Quivers thought she could still utilize the office kitchen, which was closed for ongoing servicing this morning -- and things turned out exactly as one might expect.
In the midst of a hunt for seltzer water, Robin knocked over a coffee machine, causing a flood of water to pour out over the ground.
Ronnie reported that he heard a crash and came running to see what had happened.
Robin maintained that she hadn't received the emails or seen the caution tape, but simply offered: "Don't get between me and my seltzer."

Experts find a lack of evidence to support concerns about caffeine and abnormal heart rhythm.
Despite prior concerns, experts have concluded that coffee and tea are safe for patients with an abnormal heart rhythm, based on a review of all available evidence.
Published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, this study looked at the impact of caffeinated beverages on heart rhythm. The goal was to see whether concerns about caffeine triggering abnormal heart rhythms are backed up by reliable evidence.
Studies were included if they looked at the impact of any form of caffeine such as coffee, tea, energy drinks and even chocolate, on heart rhythm. Overall, researchers found no evidence supporting the link between caffeine intake and increased risk for abnormal heart rhythms.
In fact, most studies showed the opposite—that coffee and tea consumption may actually reduce risk for abnormal heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation, often referred to as AFib, is the most common type of abnormal rhythm that affects as many as 6.1 million U.S. adults. AFib drastically increases risk for stroke and many health care providers currently advise patients to avoid caffeine, for fear that it could trigger abnormal heart rhythms.
Based on findings, authors conclude that regular caffeine intake, like through coffee and tea, is both safe and may even protect against heart rhythm disorders. However, they note that the "safe" cutoff for daily caffeine intake was around 300 mg a day.
For reference, a can of soda has about 32 mg of caffeine, a cup of tea has 35–55 mg, and a single serving of coffee or espresso has about 75–106 mg of caffeine. So most individuals can safely have up to a few servings a day of these beverages without having an impact on heart rhythm.
However, it's important to note that many energy drinks exceed this cutoff, with the caffeine content ranging from around 160 mg to 500 mg in a single serving. As a result, experts advise caution when drinking energy drinks, as studies have raised concerns about the potential health effects of these caffeine-packed beverages.
Authors also note that while moderate caffeine consumption appears harmless for heart rhythm, caffeine may be discouraged in certain individuals. For example, if an individual experiences noticeable effects between caffeine intake and arrhythmia episodes, then avoiding caffeinated beverages is reasonable.
Are there drawbacks to drinking a lot of coffee?
Many studies have shown that drinking coffee on a daily basis is safe for the heart and may actually reduce risk for heart disease. For most healthy adults, moderate coffee consumption can be part of a healthy diet, and for individuals that experience side effects from coffee, decaffeinated coffee can be a useful alternative.
AFib affects more than 3 million people in the United States.

About time wouldn't you say?
Poets of the Fall is a Finnish band who has taken the music scene by storm since 2003. They have released 8 studio albums, 1 best of and 1 live DVD. They hold a very special place in my heart, obviously, and it is the reason why Misfit at Heart's content is re-focusing solely on the band.
Eight albums, two trilogies and a third in the making… they do have something to say and believe me, you should listen. The first two trilogies were released out of order though… see the first two albums start the first trilogy, while the third album starts the second, and the fifth album ends the first … Got a headache?
Let me show you then:
First three albums
First trilogy…
Next three albums…
Second trilogy…
Next albums and third trilogy (?) in the making
The question remains, will the ninth album end the third trilogy or will it start a fourth one?
The first two trilogies are explained a little more in the post:

How Mercury Retrograde In March 2018 Will Affect Your Sign
Hold onto your hats, because the end of March is going to be a bit of a bumpy ride. Not only do we have all of the new energy of the Spring Equinox to control, but Mercury is going into retrograde for the first time in 2018. While the energy from the Spring Equinox is certainly a positive thing (more light! Less darkness! New beginnings!), the energy from Mercury retrograde is, uh, not the best. Mercury retrograde does not have the best reputation, and for good reason. This could be a very turbulent time for you, so you'll want to be prepared. Like anything else, though, it won't affect everyone the same way, so it's important to find out how Mercury retrograde will affect your sign.
Mercury goes into retrograde when the planet rotates faster than the Earth, effectively throwing everything off balance. This will happen on Mar. 22 and last until Apr. 15. During the retrograde period, communication, technology, and travel get seriously wonky. It's not uncommon for people to find difficulty in properly expressing themselves, to experience weird tech glitches that can't totally be explained, and to struggle with random travel mishaps. Mercury is the ruler of communication, and when it's in retrograde, it just has a negative effect on, well, a lot of things.
This spring, Mercury retrograde makes things a little more complicated because of how close it falls to the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is going to make you feel inspired to try new things, set new goals, and let go of the past. Most astrologers recommend avoid doing exactly that during Mercury retrograde, as the galaxy can make everything a little bit more tough.
So where does that leave you? Before you make any decisions, you need to find out how Mercury retrograde affects your sign. Then we can go from there!
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Mercury is in retrograde for almost the entire duration of your sign. Because of this, you should expect some delays on projects you're working on. This is a good time to review what you've already done to make sure it looks perfect once retrograde is over, instead of starting something new. According to MoonLinks, "In Aries, Mercury retrograde often brings greater impulsive aggressive 'action' when we should give it a rest!" Work on controlling your impulses during this time, and you should be OK.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Mercury is the planet that rules communication, so it's no surprise that it will be affecting that area of your life. You might find yourself feeling foggy and exhausted during the retrograde period, and that's pretty normal. This is a really good time to be kind to yourself — practice self-care, work on making yourself happy, and stay calm. As Astrology Horoscope Readings says, "Taurus can set themselves up for challenges with the Mercury retrograde cycle when they do not take care of their boundaries, when they allow others to determine their value, and when they fail to protect the necessary steps they need in order to achieve their goals."
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
OK, Gemini, you need to watch your back during this Mercury retrograde period. Rappler recommends that you act super careful about who you share secrets with during this time, friends and family included. If you say the wrong thing to the wrong person, you may find yourself in a crappy situation. You should take this time to be extra cautious about everything, not just secrets.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Because of the communication issues that come with Mercury retrograde, you may find yourself rethinking big decisions you've made in the past. This retrograde period could have you rethinking your career goals. Rappler says, "Things are uncertain now, so it's better to do your research and due diligence than commit to anything." Don't make any big decisions regarding your career (or anything else that's important) at this moment. Give yourself some time!
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Mercury retrograde is probably going to make you feel a bit crazed, and you may find your schedule getting thrown out of whack. Use this period as a time to stay super organized, and make sure you double check absolutely everything — don't leave anything to chance! Back up your important stuff and give yourself extra time no matter where you're going. The Astro Poets say, "The more forthcoming and honest you are, without trying to impress or flatter, the more rewarding March will be for you."
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Mercury retrograde is going to make things difficult for you, Virgo. You might find that your plans get stuck, or that something you were working on gets all messed up. Rappler also warns that "jealousy, suspicion, and trust issues can erupt during this period." Take everything slowly, don't make any quick decisions, and focus on being honest with yourself. Mercury rules Virgo, so your sign is much more sensitive to this time. Keep that in mind!
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
According to Rappler, Mercury is making its first retrograde of the year in your relationship house. What does this mean for your dating life? You should take things slowly. Don't jump to conclusions, and give yourself time before making any kind of decision, especially one you aren't sure about. This isn't the time to jump into a relationship or a breakup, so put anything big on hold.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
This is a time to be extra careful about everything, because things can easily get super chaotic. You'll want to make sure you're covering all your tracks, backing up important data and info, and preparing yourself for anything that could do wrong. You should also focus your energy on just one thing rather than a million different things. According to Astrology Horoscope Readings, "Scorpio can set themselves or others up in the Mercury retrograde cycle by allowing emotions to cloud, disrupt or ignore boundaries or what other's may value." Try to keep your emotions in check!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
According to Rappler, Mercury turns into retrograde in your "dramatic 5th house." Yikes! This means you need to keep your emotions in check and watch out for arguments that might erupt between people you know. This is also a good time to focus on past projects you haven't finished rather than starting something new. Just approach everything with a certain amount of caution, and you should be OK.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
This Merucry retrograde period is bound to seriously mess with your emotions. You might specifically find that you're going to have issues with your family or those that you live with. This is a great time to get some personal space and have some time for yourself to really focus on the things that relax you. Do this proactively to avoid a big fight with someone you care about.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Mercury retrograde may be messing with your head, but try to keep yourself centered during this period. Astrology Horoscope Readings says, "Especially at the beginning of the retrograde cycle, it is important for cool heads to prevail and to re-check if a decision or course of action is beneficial or needs to be revisited and adjusted." Double check everything, don't make any quick decisions, and stay on your toes.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
OK, this retrograde period could actually affect your finances, so be careful. Rappler says, "Mercury's three week reversal through your second house of money and work could interrupt or undo recent progress." Your best bet is to keep a low profile and not address any issues until the retrograde period is over. Be patient, it will be worth it.

The Hebrew Name
for God – YHVH
The Ancient Hebrew Language
The Hebrew Bible was written by Hebrews 2,500 to 3,500 years ago, whose culture and lifestyle were very different than our own. When we read the Word of God as a 20th Century American, our culture and lifestyle often influence our interpretation of the words
and phrases.
The word rain is a good example of how culture can influence one's view of a word. To a bride and groom preparing for an outdoor wedding, the news of rain has a negative meaning, but to the farmer in the middle of a drought, the same word has a positive meaning. For many of us, rain means a spoiled picnic but to the ancient Hebrews, rain meant life, for without it their nomadic life would end. Without a cultural understanding of the words in the Bible, much is missed or overlooked.
A language is closely tied to the culture of those who speak the language. In the case of the Hebrews who were a nomadic people of the Near East, their language is closely connected to their nomadic culture. Each Hebrew word describes an action that can be seen in the nomadic journeys of the Hebrews through the wilderness.
All modern day translations of the Bible are written from a very westernized perspective and have erased the original Hebraic, Eastern, perspective of the original words in the text. Once the Hebraicness of the text is restored, a common theme can be found throughout the Bible rising to the surface our nomadic migration through the wilderness of life.
It is simply assumed by most people that everyone everywhere thinks in pretty much the same manner. This could not be farther from the truth. In fact, the thinking processes of different cultures are as different as day is from night. We will examine some Hebrew words and ideas so that we can better understand how the mind of the Hebrew works.
Understanding how the Ancient Hebrew thought is crucial in proper Biblical understanding. If we are to interpret the Biblical text according to our way of thinking then the interpretation will be contaminated with modern Greco-Roman thinking. In my many years of research into the language of the Bible I have discovered three keys to proper interpretation of the words and ideas within the text.
Our modern languages are the product of a Greco-Roman world where abstract words are prolific. An abstract is a word or thought that cannot be related to one of the five senses; hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste. However, each Hebrew word is related to a concrete idea, a substance of action.
A good illustration of the differences is the word anger which, from a modern perspective, is an abstract idea. The Hebrew word for anger is ?? aph [H. 639] but literally means "a flaring of the nostrils in anger," a substance of action.
In fact, the word ?? aph [H. 639]] is also the same Hebrew word for the nose. Throughout this writing site you will be challenged to cease thinking abstractly and instead open your mind to the concrete meaning of words as they were understood from an Hebraic perspective.
Hebrew thought is more concerned with function whereas we, and our Greco-Roman thought, are more concerned with appearance. When we read the Biblical text we are constantly creating a mental image of what the text is describing but the original author is not describing an image of appearance but an image of function.
Hebrew Names of God in the Bible
In our modern culture a title defines the position, or character, of an individual while a name is nothing but an identifier with no meaning. In Hebrew all names are words with meaning and represent the character of the individual. Using English as an example my name, from an Hebraic perspective, could be Joe, father, husband, son or manager. The first column is the name written in Hebrew, the second is an English transliteration, the third is its literal translation and the fourth is a Biblical reference with the name.

While we may read an English translation of the Bible, it was not originally written in English. This may sound like a pretty obvious statement, but an unfortunate fact is that almost all readers of the Bible read it as if it were written in English.
We cannot define the words in the Bible from an English dictionary. Rather, we must take our definitions of Biblical words from a Hebrew dictionary, and the word "God" is no exception, this point on, you can take everything you know about every word in the Bible and toss it out the window as you are about to learn a whole new way of thinking.
While we know God is not a man and does not have an earthly body, when most of us hear the word "God" we usually have an image similar to Michelangelo's painting of God or from the many pictures we have seen since child hood.
The dictionary defines the English word "God" as "A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions."
While this definition may agree with our modern western perspective of who God is, this definition has nothing to do with how the Ancient Hebrews perceived who God was. If our goal is to read the Biblical text from the Ancient Hebrew's perspective, then we must define the word God from a Hebraic perspective, and not from Michelangelo or an English dictionary.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thin enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thy self. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth. Genesis 14:18-22 (KJV).
The Hebrew word la el [H:410], translated above as "God," was originally written in the Ancient Hebrew pictographic script.
The first letter (from right to left) is an ox head representing strength and the second is a picture of a shepherd staff representing authority. In ancient times, a king would wear the horns of an ox as a sign of his strength and carry a staff as a sign of his authority. Both symbols, the horns and the staff, have survived to modern times as the crown, with its points representing the tips of horns and the scepter representing the shepherd staff. When the meaning of these two pictographic letters are combined the original definition of the word la el [H:410] is found—one of strength and authority -- "the mighty one."
The name of the first letter is aleph and is related to the word pla eleph [H:504] meaning ox. The name of the second letter is lamed and is related to the word dmlm malmad [H:4451] meaning staff.
The word crown is probably derived from the Hebrew word Nrq qeren meaning "horn." I will continue to use the Standard English words throughout this book, such as "God," but you will want to begin to associate the Hebraic meaning of these words rather than the defective English definitions.
The Ancient Hebrews considered the yoke as a "staff of the shoulder" (see Isaiah 9:4). When plowing a field, a farmer would place two oxen in a "staff"—one was the older and more experienced and the other the younger and less experienced. The younger would learn from the older. Again, the two pictographic letters the ox and the staff, are found in this image of action.
This concept of "learning through association" can be found in the Hebrew word Pla alaph [H:502] or in the pictographic script and contains the same two pictographs.
The Hebrews did not perceive God as some great omnipotent entity but as "the mighty one," the older ox in the yoke who teaches them, the younger ox in the yoke.
Name ? ??
When we see a name, such as "King David" we
see the word "King" as a title and "David" as a
name. in our western mind a title describes a
character trait while a name is simply an identifier.
In the Hebrew language there is no such distinction
between names and titles. Both words, King and
David, are descriptions of character traits.
The Hebrew word melekh (king) is "one who
reigns,"while daviyd (David) is "one who is loved".
Both of these words are titles, describing the
character of David. It is also common to identify
the word "Elohiym" (Elohiym) as a title and YHWH
(Yahweh) as a name.
What we do not realize is that both of these are
character traits. YHWH is both a word and a title
meaning "one who exists" and Elohiym is a word
and a title meaning "one who has and authority".
The Hebrew word "shem" more literally means
" character". When the Bible speaks of taking
Elohiym's name to the nations, he is not speaking
about the name itself but his character. When we
are commanded to not take Elohiym's name in vain,
this literally means not to represent his character in a
false manner. This is similar to our expression, "have
a good name," which is not about the name itself but
the character of the one with that name.
(Exodus 9:16) 'And yet for this I have caused thee to stand, so as to show thee My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name (character ) in all the earth;
God's name is his character traits. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8). And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.(1 John 4:16).
Now, that is huge because people are starving for love and here we have the God of the universe describing Him self as love. He is love. In this verse it doesn't say He is going to love you , or He might love you, or He will love you, or He did love you. It just states the simple fact He is love. If God is love then we can say "love is God."
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding might love you, or He will love you, or He did love brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (1Corinthians 13:2). And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and verse it doesn't say that He is going to love you, or He though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity ( love ), I am nothing.(1Corinthians 13:3).
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing charity suffereth long, and is kind, charity envieth not, charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, : thinkgs whether there be tongues, they shall cease: whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. (1Corinthians 13:4-6).
If you were to look up thinketh in a Greek concordance, a Greek dictionary, in a Strongs concordance, it is number (G3049), and is used throughout the New Testament as "impute" , "account", or "to reason".
What it literally means is to make a list. I have always been taught that God does make a list of every wrong; every sin we have ever committed, and that it is recorded in a big book in Heaven. No one ever told me that God does not make a record of evil. But, here it is in the Bible God is love. Love does not think evil. Love does not impute evil.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
(2 Corinthians 18-19).
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses (or making a list of their trespasses) unto them; and to try to help people understand that, He has committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Can you imagine Christ walking on this earth, walking on this planet, God being in Him and not making a record of evil? Not making a record of trespasses?
We see this at the cross. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34).
Now, let me paint this picture because this was something else that was not explained to me. I think most everybody knows while on the cross Christ said on the cross, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
What was never pointed out to me is that no person Christ forgave asked Him to do that. Not one person that He forgave repented. Not one person stopped what they were doing; they continued killing Him. But, God was in Christ reconciling the world, not making a list of their evil. Here is the perfect picture of it: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
You need to try to keep your mind wrapped around all of this: God is love. Love does not make a record. God was in Christ not making a record of evil. If you do this, then you will see Christ on the cross forgiving people who were not asking; forgiving people who were not repenting.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (1 Corinthians 2:1-4)
Now, verse two again: For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. So, this is what he preached, Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This word power in a Strong's concordance is [G1411] and literally means the ability of a person. The ability. The King James uses the word "power" but "ability" would also fit here, by teaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified, by teaching the truth of it, you can demonstrate the Spirit and ability of God. What power? What ability?
It demonstrates God's ability to forgive and not make a record. To not impute evil. This is what we just read, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." The cross is demonstrating the Spirit of God and His ability to forgive. If these people who were killing the Son of God, putting Him to death, were forgiven their sin and a record was not made in the heart of God; if God were in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself not imputing sin.
Let's look at John 19. This takes place after the resurrection of Christ.
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose so ever sins ye retain, they are retained. John 20:19-22).
If someone has done something against you, if someone has sinned against you, and you dismiss it, you forgive them that sin. He is saying whosoever sins you remit are remitted unto them. But whosoever sins you retain are retained in your heart. They are retained unto you. Is there a list of sin made? Absolutely! But it is not in God's book. It is in your book. It is in the book of your mind, the book of your heart.
The things we have done to other people have caused us guilt and shame. What other people have done to us, if we cannot forgive it, if we can't let it go, can respond to the people in our lives based on the wounds, the pain, the hurt we have been given, and we have been being hurt most all of our lives- some of us more than others. All of our lives as we have done things to other people we have carried guilt and shame. As people have done things to us we have carried resentment, anger, and bitterness.
The record is in your heart. The record is made by each one of us. The point being is that it is not made by God. The record of sin is made by humanity! Salvation is not to erase sin out of God's book. Salvation is allowing God to lift up sin from our book.
Each one of us have retained the memory. Maybe you think you have forgotten most of it, but your subconscious has not. It is there. There is something about yourself that you need to understand: your mind is infinite. Your mind will never have so many thoughts that it cannot have one more.
Everyone has an infinite mind. Let me give you a little equation; think this through: Your thoughts produce feelings and feelings move us to action. So, if our actions are not accurate then our thoughts are not accurate. There is nothing we can say or do that does not start in the mind. Thoughts produce feelings, feelings move us to action, and our minds are infinite.
We could say that when Adam fell into sin his mind fell into an infinite abyss, or a bottomless pit. We could just keep falling and falling becoming more and more wicked or we could turn around and accept the truth of the Gospel and start receiving the truth of God's love becoming more like God.
We are to be made in the image of the only begotten Son of God who is in the image of the invisible God. Receiving the way God thinks, being able to think the way God thinks is key. We want to have a relationship with the people in our lives as God has with them. We want to be as much like God or possess as much understanding of love as we can.
Think of it this way: "If I can come to the cross and recognize this in the only begotten son of God and the people murdering Him and torturing Him are forgiven, then I can recognize God forgives me too. He has always forgiven me. This begins to release me from guilt and shame."
You begin to realize not only has He forgiven you, but He has forgiven everyone in your life. Everyone around you is forgiven and if He can forgive them, then you will hear yourself say, "who am I to hold a grudge against my mother, father, children, my neighbors, or people I work with?
If God has forgiven them and not made a list of their wrongs and evils then who am I to make a list?" This truth begins to allow God to lift up all sin from you. The things you have done to others and the things others have done to you.
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. (John 9:39 )
Now, concerning the word "judgment; somehow every time I read "judgment," I get a picture of standing before God and He is judging me. He is telling me everything wrong I have ever done. The word "judgment" simply means "a determination, to make a decision, or determine something."
What we are reading in John 9:39 is not Jesus making a determination. but you and I making a determination. Jesus said, " For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see. It is for you to make the determination. For you to make a judgment. That they which see might determine or recognize they are blind."
He came into this world so that people who think they "see", people who think they "understand" might recognize they don't. This is what He means when He says, "to be made blind." He isn't talking about poking someone's eyes out. He is speaking spiritually here.
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (John 9:40-41).
Just stop right here! Once you recognize your blindness you will recognize in God's eyes you have no sin. There is another description of God in 1 John that states ...God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.( see - 1 John 1:5), God is light and in Him there is no darkness. If you have no light you are in darkness and are walking as a blind person. God is light, God is love.
Once you begin to understand God as being love and love does not make a record, you begin to have some light on yourself and on the people around you. Until you understand this truth you are walking in darkness. Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (John 9:41).
Christ is trying to help us understand that before God we are blind; we don't have an understanding of God. If you have never been taken to the cross where you could see God's love portrayed toward those who killed His Son you have never really understood God. You believed in God, you believed in Jesus but you never understood the character of God or the love of God.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.(2 Timothy 3:1-5).
Stop! This is speaking of the church in the last day! What we just read in verses one through four describes how the world has always been. In the last days it will be perilous because the church will be this way. They will have a form of godliness but look at the problem.
Remember, preaching Christ and Him crucified demonstrates the Spirit and power of God. The church in the last day will have a form of godliness but will deny the power, or ability of God's love; from such turn away.
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. So, they can study the Bible for a million years! The knowledge of the truth is the love of God. (2 Timothy 3:7).
God wants to help you understand His love. He wants you to see His ways. He wants you to see you are blind and that He cannot condemn a blind man. You can come to the cross and be released from all sin. You can begin to work out your salvation with fear and trembling knowing the truth of the love of God.
Most gracious heavenly Father we pray for your leading and the courage to believe the truth. We pray for your glory, in Jesus name.

Signum Surgical, which is developing minimally invasive technologies to treat colorectal diseases, has secured two grants totalling €3.6 million: €2.3 million from the EU Horizon 2020 SME Instrument, and €1.3 million from Ireland's Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund.
The company's BioHealx device is designed to treat anal fistula, a painful colorectal condition that affects one in 5,000 people worldwide. In the US alone, 64,000 surgeries are performed annually to treat the condition. According to Signum Surgical, current treatments are rarely successful, and result in ongoing infections and repeat procedures.
BioHealx features a bioabsorbable implant to help seal the fistula tract and dissolve in the body after treatment. The minimally invasive, single-operation approach only requires an outpatient procedure, and is designed to encourage healing, prevent reinfection, and protect patient continence, thereby substantially reducing surgical trauma, and costs for both patients and the health care system.
Signum Surgical was founded by Eoin Bambury and Moshe Zilversmit in 2016 as a spin-out of the National University of Ireland BioInnovate programme, and is based in Galway, Ireland. Horizon 2020 funds research and development efforts that can boost the EU's global competitiveness.

The stereotypes around colour preferences go something like this: Introverts tend to prefer neutrals, low-contrast colour combinations, muted tones, and subtle patterns. Extroverts also like neutrals, but they combine them with bright colours, bold and high-contrast colour combinations, and loud patterns. Or they simply wear non-neutrals from head to toe.
In our household, we fit the stereotypes. I'm the extrovert who enjoys wearing bright colours, bold patterns and high-contrast outfits because they lift my spirits and make me happy. To me, brights feel just as right and soothing as neutrals. Greg, on the other hand, is more of an introvert and enjoys wearing dark neutrals. Most of his wardrobe is black, ink blue, navy, deep olive and charcoal. The exception is footwear. He often makes a statement with red sneakers.
In my experience as a fashion stylist, the stereotypes are not very accurate. I have plenty of introverted friends, family members, and clients who enjoy bright colours, bold patterns, and high-contrast combinations. For example, my 85 year old, introverted Dad has worn red and orange knitwear, and bold checked shirts, for as long as I can remember. I also know extroverts with very neutral, low-contrast wardrobes.
Over to you. Do you fit or buck the colour and personality stereotypes?

Embattled Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's conservative coalition seemed "absolutely certain" to emerge as frontrunner following the general election, a leading analyst predicted today, and may even secure a majority.
Turnbull's ruling Liberal/National coalition will hold at least 73 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Antony Green said as counting continued.
Parties need 76 seats for a majority in Canberra's Lower House of Parliament.
With five seats still too close to call, Green said he was "absolutely certain" that the government would win more seats than the Opposition Labor Party and could get to the 76 needed to claim victory.
"I think they can get to 76," Green told Radio National.
"Seventy-three is a definite, 74 is also likely, 75 is possible, 76 is less possible."
Labor is forecast to win at least 67 seats, with crossbenchers from minor parties and independents expected to hold at least five, meaning they could hold the balance of power.
Turnbull, who yesterday took full responsibility for the dismal election campaign, has said he believes he will be able to form a government without the help of these crossbenchers.
The 61-year-old millionaire former banker, who called the election early in a bid to shore up his power, has dismissed the idea of quitting, saying his job was to "get on and govern''.
But he acknowledged that the government needed to "listen very carefully to the concerns of the Australian people expressed through this election''.
"The Australian people have voted, and we respect the result," he said.
Turnbull became prime minister in September after ousting unpopular predecessor Tony Abbott in a party room vote in a bid to put the government in a position to win this year's election.
But after a protracted eight-week campaign focusing on "jobs and growth", Turnbull was unable to comprehensively win the support of the nation of 24 million.
When he became prime minister in 2015, Turnbull was the nation's fourth leader in two years following a turbulent period in which sitting leaders were ousted by their own party.
The new member for the Sydney seat of Macarthur, Labor candidate Mike Freelander, said Turnbull's rise to power may have impacted the election outcome.
"People here didn't like Malcolm Turnbull, particularly because he rolled Tony Abbott," he told The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. "They liked Tony Abbott in many ways."

BT poach in the business of IT providers
Saudi Arabia
Source: Handelsblatt
From: Saudi Arabia
Cloud Computing helps companies reduce their IT-costs by a third. And, says Diethard Bühler, Telcos have a clear advantage over IT-service providers. The reason for this is that while customers can buy net and server capacity of the same quality from different providers, one-stop service is an ace that the telcos have up their sleeves helping them in their marketing efforts.

Constipation is the number one cause of abdominal pain in children and is a top reason for a doctor visit or ER visit. The pain from constipation can be so severe that it may seem like it is something much more than just stool build up. So how can you recognize signs that your child may be constipated?
Most people think that if a child is pooping daily he cannot be constipated, or if she is only pooping once every third day then she must be constipated. However, the frequency does not always dictate constipation – this may be normal for your child. The key is that bowel movements should NOT be painful. If it hurts to poop, then there is a good chance you are constipated.
If a child complains of stomach pain (usually all over or mostly around the belly button) that improves even slightly after a bowel movement, then the pain is likely due from constipation. If the stools are hard, dry, painful, or small and round and/or your child spends a long time on the toilet to try and poop, then this is likely constipation. Sometimes there is blood on the stool or on the toilet paper, and this is just from pressure from a hard stool passing during a bowel movement causing a small bleed with constipation.
Most everyone will develop constipation for a short time, and it can occur at any age. Temporary changes in diet, travel, hydration, or stress can cause constipation for a few days that may or may not require treatment. Even after an illness like a stomach bug, the intestines can slow down for a short time and your child can be constipated. Sometimes constipation starts as a temporary situation but the child becomes scared to poop so holds it in, which worsens the constipation by creating more stool build up in the intestines.
For temporary constipation, sometimes just drinking more water or some juice will relieve the symptoms. Increasing the fiber in your diet keep a healthy GI tract and prevents the stool from becoming hard and dry. For more long-term constipation issues, it may take weeks, months, or years of a treatment regimen and bowel training to relieve the constipation and get the intestines working back to normal.
The sooner constipation in your child is recognized, the sooner he gets back to normal and you can learn how to prevent constipation from returning. This problem is so much more common than many people think, so do not hesitate to contact your child's doctor if the stomach pain seems to be getting more frequent and does not show signs of improving.

Every year I try and look at the "Superior" search options, and every year I ask for the link to the classic search view
Thanks in advance
Every year I try and look at the "Superior" search options, and every year I ask for the link to the classic search view
Thanks in advance
Me too.
Me as well. I liked the old search, isn't there a link to allow us to use that version?
Why does GenCon keep trying to use a barely functional search? seems pretty basic stuff when dealing with an event catalog with thousands of entries.
Can anyone official please let us know if the Classic Search Engine is available?? I find it to be, by far, the best way to find events. It seems that others do as well.
Can Derek or someone from GenCon please update us on this? If you aren't going to make the classic search engine available it would be nice to hear it officially. Thank you.
Good lord, the new search option is terrible. Please bring back the old version!
Agreed. The current search function doesn't really function at all. I can't sort by event type, day, etc. I don't think that making the classic method available is an unreasonable request. Why make the process more difficult than it needs to be?
You guys do know that if you click on the red square to the left of the search box, it brings up more search options, right?
Although why they're not in the 'advanced search' box, I do not know.
One of the few times being a chemist pays off...yes its a filter funnel.
