    Regarding the "Curse on Ham":

     

    ". The youngest son of Noah (Genesis 5, 32; comp. 9:24). B.C. post 2618. Having provoked the wrath of his father by an act of indecency towards him, the latter cursed him and his descendants to be slaves to his brothers and their descendants (Gen 9:25). B.C. cir. 2514. To judge, however, from the narrative, Noah directed his curse only against Canaan (the fourth son of Ham) and his race, thus excluding from it the descendants of Ham's three other sons, Cush, Mizraim, and Phut (Gen 10:6). How that curse was accomplished is taught by the history of the Jews, by whom the Canaanites were subsequently exterminated. The general opinion is that all the southern nations derive their origin from Ham (to which the Hebrew root חָמִם, to be hot, not unlike the Greek Αἰφίοπες, lends some force)...." - Cyclopedia of BIblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature; James Strong & John McClintok 

     

    * You might be interested in "theWord Bible Study Software": theWord.net  I love it! It can enhance your productivity, save you some serious money, and, most importantly, easily dig down and extract a much fuller meaning, as the text intends. Just hover over the Strong's #s, and up will pop the Hebrew or Greek word, respectively, with the Lexical entry in English. You can take notes, create lists, print them, etc. One feature you might find very useful is the "Clipboard Monitor: It can be used anywhere online that you see a Scripture reference. Highlight, then right-click on any verse, choose 'copy' and immediately you are reading it. You can even choose to only highlight the chapter number, ignoring the verse, and the whole chapter will pop up! If there are multiple verses in the highlight block, it will bring you all of them (and you can paste/print them). There is also an option to run theWord off a thumb drive. Did I mention it's free?    :D

     

    * I just discovered this short article yesterday. It briefly outlines a traditional Hebrew wedding, bringing to light all the Biblical significance of God's  beautiful plan from Genesis to Revelation. I truly found it very eye opening . Betrothal

     

    Shalom in your home!

    Micro-Blogging Mania

    in Humor! Need a good laugh?

    Posted

    (In the wake of the elections, I thought we could do with a little humor.)

    There seems to be a condition existing in the micro-blogging world, that I don’t know of an existing phrase for, so I just call it 'micro-blogging mania'. These good souls are very well-meaning, but seem to need to tweet the minute details of their life, and often. My problem is, in real life, I can hardly keep up with reading a few of my Twitter contacts, LOL!. Here’s a (ficticious) example:

    * 8:00am - I’m walking down the driveway to my car. It looks like heavy frost on the windshield.

    * 8:40am - I can’t believe I spilled coffee on my pants! I haven’t even made it to work, yet.!!! = O

    * 10:30am - Waiting for a meeting to start. Sitting here with my friend, Ben.

    * 10:42am – Still in a holding pattern. - Think I forgot to feed the fish this morning.

    * 10:45am - RT @silly_quotes Notable Quote: “Wherever you go, there you are.”

    * 1:02pm - Check out this link about ant farms. antfarmsforever.con

    * 5:11pm - Stuck in traffic......................BORING! ZZZzzz... zzz

    * 6:15pm - Finally home. Mailbox FULL of junk mail. Oh joy.

    * 7:30pm - I LOVE Twitter, don’t you?

    * 7:35pm – My spouse and I just finished a glass of iced tea, decaf.

    * 8:57pm - You should see this commercial..................sheesh!!!

    * 9:36pm – Would you believe, I’ve just spent the last 10 min looking for a PEN?!!!!!!!

    * 9:39pm - FOUND IT!

    * 10:15pm – Check out this link !!!!! PaintByRomanNumerals.con

    * 11:00pm – Nite, all. Wait!!! Forgot to tell you what I had for dinner......

    So, here’s a proposal - a choice of two versions of their feeds would be available as shown below:

    @johndoe

    @johndoeLITE (this one would remove all the nonessentials)

    Wishful thinking, huh? LOL :wink_smile:

    Have a great day & God bless you! :D

    "Thoughts from the Sanctuary" a poem

    Gripping! Thank you ever so much. I needed something exactly like this right now. There are no coincidences. God bless.

    Your comment blessed me, Numenian. I posted this poem as a response to some pretty bad news I was made aware of yesterday. Declaring the Father, His love and His purposes helps keep me oriented (and throws dust in the enemy's eyes). Glad it met a need.I tend to agree with you about there being no coincidences.

    What a mighty God we serve! May we exalt His Name forever!

    God bless you too my friend.

    Thoughts from the Sanctuary

    Deep calls to deep in this place.

    Where we, of elemental water,

    meet and mingle with You,

    the Living Water.

    Keep us ever mindful, LORD,

    of Your perfect Will,

    of Your boundless Love,

    of Your unmatched Power,

    of Your unmerited Favor.

    You and You alone are Holy.

    You and You alone are Sovereign.

    You are THE Name Above ALL names.

    Keep us in the strong current of Your will, Father.

    Do not tolerate our lingering in the eddies

    which form among the distractions

    at the edges of Your plans.

    Send us out, Lord of the Harvest:

    Fueled by Your Spirit,

    Equipped with Your Word,

    Driven by Your deepest Love

    for us and for the whole world.
