BibleEtcJanuary202014 I am committed daily to reading two pages of the Old Testament; one page of the New; something from the Qur’an; and a hadith. OT from a Bible Survey I had put together, with twelve sessions for a Muslim/Christian group. Exodus 12:31-42 The Israelites flee Egypt so fast they don’t have a chance to let their bread rise… so later they bake unleavened bread (matzoh) Israelites borrow jewelry and clothing from the Egyptians, thus plundering them. (Where is the morality of this action of stealing? Is it justifiable since the Israelites had done so much work as slaves, thus having their time and labor stolen?) 600,000 set forth on foot. This seems like an unmanageably large number. Mark 10:1-16 Pharisees try to draw Jesus into a conversation on when divorce is permissible. Jesus won’t be drawn in, but said that since creation God intended that a man live his mother and father and cleave unto his wife and that both would be one. The disciples were angry that people were bringing children to Jesus for Him to bless. Jesus said “whoever does not welcome the Kingdom of God as a child will never enter it.” Jesus doesn’t want us to be childish. He wants us to come with the simple kind of trust that children can have. Quran. 3. Verses 116-117. Whoever disbelieves, his possessions or his children will not shield him from the Fire. God sends a frosty wind to destroy the crops of those who have wronged themselves. 7adith. Sahib al Bukhari. Book 2/ Chapter 26/ verse 38 Page 71 The direction of prayer shifts from Jerusalem to the Kaba at Mecca. Weight on home scale. 262# (so up two pounds from yesterday) My weight will be 217 or lower on Jan 1, 2015, and at some point after that 167. Right now, I am 28 pounds under my gross 290, and have 95 pounds of fat and blubber to lose to get down to 167. Yesterday I tried to be so careful with what I ate. I did have a good breakfast with Richard, including a biscuit and potatoes. Lunch was at a new restaurant in Harvest Village between Micanopy and McIntosh. I had salad and spaghetti, and brought most of it home. I have two more meals. At night, I ate at a banquet at the Micanopy Middle School. I had a salad. They were dishing out the food for the head table, so I gave them not my dinner plate but my smaller salad plate, and brought half of it home. So, where did the pounds come from? I wore size 48 pants yesterday, and find I can comfortably get into suits I have not worn in years. I will be going to the dry cleaners today with five suits that are dusty just from hanging unworn in my closet. Exercise 8th day on level D+ on Royal Canadian Air Force 5BX. Five minutes.
