Theological Reasons for Wordiness :: Desiring God

The purpose he says is “to emphasize as strongly as possible that every tribe had an equal stake in the worship of God, and that each was fully committed to the support of the tabernacle and its priesthood.”

a great reminder

Deuteronomy 8:11-18

11 “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, 12 lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them,13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied,14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. 17 Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ 18 You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Spring!!

 Spring is here! Well, at least this past weekend when temperatures got up to 56 degrees (on my "official" thermometer in my car). I'm so excited that it's going to be getting warmer soon (hopefully). I can't wait for the winter to go away and I promise not to complain once about it being hot this summer!

West Bottoms a hidden treasure for the designer and homeowner - KansasCity.com

Shopping in Kansas City’s West Bottoms feels like searching out a speakeasy.

If you drive down the 12th Street bridge into the urban core’s old industrial area, you’re surrounded by red brick warehouses painted with business names from the past, such as Kansas City Bolt, Nut and Screw Co. Streets twist and turn and depart from the comfort zone of the city’s numbered grid. Railroad tracks zigzag through a curious mix of corporate headquarters, factories and commercial haunted houses.

Deuteronomy 32:4

“The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
just and upright is he.

'Lost' execs 'spoil' final episodes at TV Fest '10 | Ausiello | EW.com

The answer is “no” to the following: Will we get a conclusion to the story of Ben’s love, Annie? Do the purple circles in Bender’s mural mean anything? Did Juliet’s ex-husband get killed by a smoke bus? Will there be a DVD release of the show in chronological order?

A Sweet Reminder

Deuteronomy 4:37-39

37 And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power, 38 driving out before you nations greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

This was a sweet reminder this morning, to remember all that the Lord has done out of His great love, not just for me, but for His people!
