Well here it is another middle of the week, a good cup of coffee and some odd toast, my leading for bread buying is always the mark down sticker, so my last health food store shopping trip snagged me a 50% off and on my first toast foray I was cutting the knobbly bit on the end off and lo, the bread was red and green looking inside, then on reading the label, it read 'Veggie sourdough bread' and if I may say so, quite tasty, has anyone else had the experience???Went and saw my first great grandson yesterday,for a one quarter Chinese he looked like a tiny poster boy for Bruce Lee, he's a bit of a miracle baby due to some health issues my granddaughter has.His Mum and Dad are of the modern parenting school, much to Helen's chagrin and he was in fine fettle and gave us a full meal deal for our visit.I'm still poking around with Jethro Moses father in law, as this was where Moses turns up after Pharaoh's courts and doing for the Egyptian. In Exodus 2 is where Jethro seeks to 'eat bread' with 'the man' reminds one of Jesus and the little tree climber.But this is where Moses will learn some of life's teaching's, first Jethro gives him a wife, school has begun!!! how often contentment is the spur that God uses to achieve greater goals,then comes a much quoted verse because it starts with "And it came to pass in the process of time -------" and what I've found is so many challenges have to face 'the process of time' but the good news is that, the Lord does hear our cry and His covenant with Jesus.TBC. GtG.

Good to hear Pat's doing okay.  I wouldn't want to make her feel pressured to post. If she doesn't have something she wants to post, that's fine. But thanks, Rita, for letting her know we were thinking of her.

I will try again, posted once but the site crashed and the post disappeared! I haven’t really been posting much anywhere, and only commented on Facebook because I got a notification.I certainly don’t have any issues with anyone and don’t find Facebook more interesting - I would feel slightly concerned if I did. I have a difficult situation going on with my best friend and it’s just pre occupying me - that’s all. Obviously I cannot speak for Pat, we did recently have a chat and she is okay. I did relay that you were asking after her, so I thought perhaps she would pop in, but I presume from the comments that she hasn’t been here. Xx

^ I found an article at WIkipedia about the Rechabites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechabites 

Methinks Kerry you nailed it.This verse I found interesting Jer 35 vs 19 and 18, because of verse 18, 19 reads, " Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever"According to scripture they never deviated from the instructions they had received, even after pots of wine were placed before them, the last part of the scripture implies an everlasting promise to Jonadab of a man standing in the presence of the Lord.Do we know if the Rechabites survived to have a man to stand before the Lord and did they continue to be obedient, and was that the condition of the promise???

I figure Facebook is more interesting than we are, Dave.  We probably bored her. At my age, maybe boring is good?   

I saw a post on F B with Rita and Pat, so nice to know they are alive and kicking; biblically if they have ought against us, they should have aired their 'oughts'. Maybe they have with Mike as head cook and bottle washer.Ah well, life goes on.Helen just reminded me that this time next week, we will have entered into the realm of Great grandparents, with a great grandson, all our grand children were prayed over at birth but this grand daughter and hubby are not 'old school' It definitely won't be 'Noah's ark with feltie's' unless my daughter slips them in.I think the only thing we will be babysitting is the dogs this year but we are well versed in that realm through lots of practise already.I shall rush out later and purchase an Ezekiel loaf and some heavenly vegetable's, organic of course.An all purpose guru has come up with a list and verses to boot!!!!If you put all the biblical mentioned foods together it is quite impressive menu.More twaddle for you Mike, remember the doors with " Gents Only" that seems to be us LoL

Quote from: Dave on 03 Feb, 2026 19:30Interesting stuff Kerry, the pundits seem to side with Matthew as the context is the "field" issue and it tends more to lean to Jeremiah than Zechariah .But I was leaning as to 'why' the saints die in this age with the dis-eases common to the world.Maybe if we had followed a more scriptual based diet earlier in life, we might have avoided at least some of the worlds dis-eases, maybe a moot point at this stage in "life" !!!!!I never thought about that.

Quote from: Dave on 01 Feb, 2026 22:45I had a job out in the country, many years ago and used to drive by his country mansion and estate going and coming.Well my old mate finally retired to his sky mansion, the Lord must have finished the final preparations.It raises a question, his death certificate will read death by disease, he had multiple brain tumours, was in excruciating pain, heavily sedated, not the way he wanted to go I'm sure, Hebrews mentions some of the ways the old saints bowed out, not pain free but not by disease.My old squash mate (a renowned  micro biologist) cheered me up no end with his pronouncement that we will all die of some disease.So where does "He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses" fit in? asking for a friend.Matthew says he's quoting Isaiah.  Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.There is a problem with that since Isaiah didn't write that. Matthew contains several misquotes from the Old Testament; my theory is a scribe added things to Matthew's original version.  It is probably a reference to this:Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Other mistakes may look more worrisome.  Matthew 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.Not in Jeremiah at all. It's probably referring to a passage from Zechariah.  Zechariah 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord.12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
