I will pass both of them along!<br /><br />And thank you for being such a faithful commenter. I was just talking to the Salleys today about how wonderful it is to hear other people's perspectives on Scripture. Your takes on Numbers and Lukek today were both great, and they helped me in my understanding. I especially loved the idea of only having so much to give. So true:). <br /><br />I know that you may not always be able (or inclined) to add your two cents, and that is totally okay. But I did want to let you know that I very much appreciate it!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063678082377147197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112439593032667008.post-41378478795812903372010-03-21T19:23:52.571-07:002010-03-21T19:23:52.571-07:00Some quick thoughts before I go to bed:
I tend to...Some quick thoughts before I go to bed:<br /><br />I tend to think that it wasn't a problem (i.e. selling themselves short) for Reuben and Gad to settle down where they saw that it was good. My verse 4a says, "[T]he LORD has conquered this whole area for the people of Israel," so I think that land still "counted" as being part of what God wanted to give them. I can see how you get what you're thinking--and that could be possible--but I tend to think that that's what God had in mind for them. (Although, really, there is no way to know for sure.)<br /><br />I thought it was interesting in Luke how Jesus had to leave the people to be able to help other people. I think we often feel guilty about turning people away who need help, but the truth is that we only have so much to give. It's okay if we have put someone/something on the back burner to take care of someone/something else. We don't like to do that, though.<br /><br />BTW, Kim, let me know if you/Greg need any help with anything for Cross-Training (like in the morning or afternoon) since I'm just down the road and don't yet have any plans (except on Thursday) set in stone for this week (though I'm sure I will soon; I just want to give you the chance to ask first). :) Oh, and I really liked Greg's sermon this morning. That was just what I needed to hear. I wish he would preach more often.beksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724637942561747185noreply@blogger.com
