Times Like These...

...You learn to live again.
It's times like these
you give and give again
It's times like these
you learn to love again
It's times like these
time and time again..."

(love that song)

And speaking of songs, there's an old Leviticus song, called "Deborah and Barak," which is about the battles described in Judges chapter 4. Barak was reluctant, but turned out to be a hero because he did obey. A woman (Deborah) was leading God's people at that time. That's very interesting...

There's also another gruesome scene towards the end of the chapter, where another woman (Jael) drives a tent peg through the temple of Sisera as he slept. Gnarly.

I was listening to that same song this morning on my way to work.

What part of Ecclesiastes did that come from?

Whoa! I listened to that song on the way to work, too.
:?)
I often think about what I'm going to write in my blogs on the way to work...

[That's from a Foo Fighters' song.
Reminds me a lil' of Ecclesiastes, too.]

We almost named our kid "jael" but he turned out to be "Noah" and people said that a girl with the name Jael , would be insecure cause it sounded like "Jail" Lol.
