Deuteronomy
(The Second Copy of the Law)
Chapters 11-15

11[1-] So you’ll love Yahweh your God, and keep his charge, and his laws, and his rules, and his Laws, always. Know today: for I don't speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the greatness, the power, and the strength, of the punishment of Yahweh your God, and the signs and works, which God did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the ruler of Egypt, and to all his land; and what God did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how God made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to today; and what God did to you in the countryside, until you came to this place; and what God did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the children of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their families, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel.
[7-12] But your eyes have seen all the great work which Yahweh did. So keep all the judgments which I tell you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take the land, where you go for your own; and that you may live long in the land, which Yahweh promised to your ancestors to give to them and to their descendants, a land full of milk and honey. For the land, where you go to take for your own, isn't as the land of Egypt, from where you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs; but the land, where you go over for your own, is a land of hills and valleys, and is watered by the rain of the sky, a land which Yahweh your God cares for: Yahweh your God always watches over it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
[13-17] If you listen carefully to My Laws which I tell you today, to love and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, then I’ll give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil. I’ll give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you’ll eat and be full. Be careful, in case your heart is misled, and you turn away, and serve false gods, and worship them; and Yahweh gets angry with you, and shuts up the sky, so that there’s no rain, and the land won’t give its harvest; and you die quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you.
[18-21] So lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and you’ll bind them for a sign on your hand, and they’ll be for symbols between your eyes. Teach them to your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. Write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates; that you and your children may live a long time, in the land which Yahweh promised to your ancestors to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
[22-25] For if you’ll carefully keep all these judgments which I tell you to do, to love Yahweh your God, to follow God’s ways, and to hold on to God; then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and you’ll take ownership of nations greater and stronger than yourselves. Every place where the sole of your foot will walk will be yours: from the countryside, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the sea will be your border. No one will be able to stand before you: Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you’ll walk on, as God has told you.
[26-32] See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you’ll listen to the Laws of Yahweh your God, which I tell you today; and the curse, if you don’t listen to the Laws of Yahweh your God, but turn away from what I tell you today, to go after false gods, which you’ve not known. And when Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go for your own, that you’ll set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. Aren't they across the Jordan, to the west, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah desert, next to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? Pass over the Jordan to go in and take the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and take ownership of it, and live in it. Keep all the laws and the rules which I set before you today.
12[1-3] These are the laws and the rules which you’ll keep and do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you for your own, as long as you live on the earth. You’ll without a doubt destroy all the places in which the nations that you’ll take ownership served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree. Break down their altars, and chop their posts in pieces, and burn down the trees used to worship Asherah. Cut down the carved images of their false gods; and destroy their name out of that place.
[4-7] Don’t do so to Yahweh your God. But you’ll regularly come to the place which Yahweh your God will choose out of all your family groups, where God’s name is, even to God’s house; and there you’ll bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your Give ten percents, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock. You’ll eat there before Yahweh your God, and you’ll be happy in all that you put your hand to, you and your families, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.
[8-11] Don’t do what we do here today, everyone doing whatever is right in their own eyes; You haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yahweh your God gives you. But when you go over the Jordan, and live in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you live in safety; then you’ll go to the place which Yahweh your God will choose, where God’s name is, and there you’ll bring all that I tell you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your Give ten percents, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your special vows which you vow to Yahweh.
[12-16] You’ll be happy before Yahweh your God, you and your children, and your workers, and the Levite who is where you live, who has no part of the inheritance with you. Be careful that you don't offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see; but only in the place which Yahweh will choose in one of your family groups, there you’ll offer your burnt offerings, and there you’ll do all that I tell you. But you may kill and eat meat such as the antelope and deer wherever you live, whatever you want, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which God has given you and both the unfit and the fit may eat it. Only don’t eat the blood; but pour it out on the earth as water.
[17-20] You may not eat where you live the Give ten percent of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand; but you’ll eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God will choose, you, and your children, and your workers, and the Levite who is where you live: and you’ll be happy before Yahweh your God in all that you do. Be careful not to stop taking care of the Levite as long as you live in your land. When Yahweh your God adds to your land, as was promised, and you say, I’ll eat meat, because you want to eat meat; you may eat as much meat as you want.
[21-25] If the place which Yahweh your God chooses, where God’s name is, is too far from you, then you’ll kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I’ve told you; and you may eat where you live, as much as you want. Just as the antelope and deer are eaten, so you’ll eat it. The unfit and the fit may eat of it alike. Only be sure that you don't eat the blood, because the blood is the living soul of the animal; and don’t eat the living soul with the meat. Don’t eat it; but pour it out on the earth as water. Don’t eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you do what’s right to Yahweh.
[26-28] Only your holy things, and your vows, you’ll take, and go to the place which Yahweh will choose: and you’ll offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices will be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you’ll eat the meat there. Keep and listen to all these words which I tell you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do what’s good and right to Yahweh your God.
[29-32] When Yahweh your God will cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to take ownership of them, and you take ownership of them, and live in their land; be careful to not be trapped into following after them, after they’re destroyed from before you. Don’t ask questions about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? I’ll do the same as they did. Don’t do this to Yahweh your God, because every wrong to God, which Yahweh hates, have they done for their gods; for they even burn their children in the fire to their gods. Whatever I tell you, that you’ll do: Don’t add to it, or take away from it.
13[1-5] If a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams comes to you, and gives you a sign or an amazing thing, and it comes to pass what was told you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods,” which you’ve not known, and “Let’s serve them;” Don’t listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams because Yahweh your God will test you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You’ll follow after and respect Yahweh your God, and keep God’s Laws, and obey God’s voice, and you’ll serve and hold on to Yahweh. That prophet or dreamer of dreams will be put to death, who has spoken against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and freed you out of the place of hard work and slaving, to draw you away from what Yahweh your God told you to go in. So you’ll put away the evil from you.
[6-10] If your brother or sister, the children of your mother, or your own children, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, who is as your own soul, tempt you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods, which you’ve not known, you, nor your ancestors; of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other; Don’t agree to it, nor listen. Don’t pity that person, nor spare them, nor hide them, but you’ll, without a doubt, kill him; your hand will be first to put that person to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people. Stone them to death with stones, because they have tried to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of hard work and slaving.
[11-16] All Israel will listen, and fear, and won’t do any more such evil as this which is done where you are. If you’ll hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to live there that some base evil people have gone out from you, and have drawn away the people of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods, which you’ve not known; then you’ll look into it, and search and ask carefully; and see, if it’s true that such wrong has been done there. If so, then you’ll without a doubt kill the people of that city in war, destroying it completely, and everything that’s in it, including the livestock in the war. You’ll gather all its stuff into the middle of the street, and burn the city and everything in it with fire, to Yahweh your God. It’ll be a heap forever and never be built again.
[17-18] Don’t take anything of that which is to be dedicated to God; that Yahweh may not be angry, and will show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and let you have many children, as was promised to your ancestors; when you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and keep all God’s Laws which I tell you today, and do what’s right by Yahweh your God.
14[1-2] You’re the people of Yahweh your God. Don’t cut yourselves, nor shave your head for the dead. You’re a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be God’s own people, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
[3-8] Don’t eat anything that’s bad for you. These are the animals which you may safely eat: the tame bull, sheep, and goat, the deer, and the antelope, and the roebuck, the mountain goat, the wild ox, and the mountain sheep. You may eat every animal that has a parted hoof that splits in two, and chews the cud, among the animals. But don’t eat those that re-chew their food, or of those who have the split hoof like the camel, the hare, and the rabbit; because they re-chew their food but don't have a split hoof, so they’re unfit for you. Don’t eat the pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn't re-chew its food, so it’s unfit for you. Don’t eat of their meat, and don’t touch their dead bodies.
[9-21] These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat; and whatever doesn't have fins and scales don’t eat; It’s unfit for you. All fit birds you may eat. But don’t eat the eagle, vulture, buzzard, hawk, the falcon, and raven after its kind, male or female ostriches, cuckoo, or any kind of bird of prey, owl, seagull, ibis, pelican, bustard, stork, heron, desert lark, and bat. Every insect with wings is unfit for you, so don’t eat them, but all fit birds you may eat. Don’t eat anything that dies naturally. You may give it to the foreigner living among you to eat who is where you live; or you may sell it to a foreigner, but you’re a holy people to Yahweh your God. Don’t boil a kid in its mother's milk.
[22-26] Give ten percent of everything grown by your seed in the field each year. You’ll eat before Yahweh your God, in the place chosen by God, where God’s name is, the ten percent of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to respect Yahweh your God always. If the place is too long and too far from you so that you’re not able to carry it to where Yahweh your God chooses, where God’s name is, when Yahweh your God blesses you; then you’ll sell it for money, and take the money and go to the place where Yahweh your God chooses. There you’ll give the money for whatever you want, for bulls, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever else your soul asks of you; and you’ll eat there before Yahweh your God, and you and your family will be happy.
[27-29] Don’t forsake the Levite who is where you live; for he has no part nor inheritance with you. At the end of every three years you’ll bring the whole ten percent of your income in the same year, and will save it up where you live. So the Levite, because he has no part nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the orphan, and the survivor, who are where you live, will come, and eat and be satisfied; so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work which you do.
15[1-6] At the end of every seven years you’ll make a release. This is the kind of release where every creditor will release what they have lent to their neighbor; and not demand it of the neighbor or a family member; because Yahweh's release has been made known. You may demand it of a foreigner, but whatever of yours is with one of your own people you’ll release. If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep and do all these judgments which I tell you today, there will be no poor with you because Yahweh will without a doubt bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for your own. For Yahweh your God will bless you, as was promised you: and you’ll lend to many nations, but won’t borrow; and you’ll rule over many nations, but they won’t rule over you.
[7-11] If there’s a poor person with you, one of your kin, where you live in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, don’t be hardhearted, nor shut your hand from your poor people; but you’ll without a doubt give to them, and lend them whatever they need. Don’t let there not be an evil thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand;” and you think evil against your poor. If you give them nothing and they cry to Yahweh against you, it will be a sin to you. You’ll without a doubt give to them, and your heart won’t be grieved when you give to them; because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to for what you did. For the poor will never be completely out of the land, so I tell you, saying, you’ll without a doubt open your hand to your kin, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
[12-18] If your kin, a Hebrew man or woman, is sold to you, and serves you for six years; then in the seventh year you’ll let them go free from you. When you let them go free from you, don’t let them go empty handed. Provide for them well out of your animals, and out of your gardens, and out of your winepress; as Yahweh your God has blessed you, so give to them. Remember that you were workers in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God freed you: so I tell you this thing today. But if they tell you, I won’t leave you; because they love you and your family, because they have been well taken care of with you; then you’ll pierce their ear, and they’ll be your worker forever. Do this to your male and female workers. It won’t seem hard to you, when you let them go free from you; for they were worth double the price of hired worker and have served you six years, and Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do.
[19-23] All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you’ll set apart for Yahweh your God. Do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. You and your family will eat it before Yahweh your God each year in the place which Yahweh chooses. Don’t sacrifice it to Yahweh your God if it has any thing at all wrong with it, as if it’s lame or blind, or has anything else wrong with it. You’ll eat it where you live. Both the unfit and the fit will eat it alike, just as an antelope or a deer. Only don’t eat its blood, but pour it out on the ground as water.

Counselors’ Corner

December is already here and Christmas is coming soon! Let’s remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and God’s great love for us sinners! My family had a good Thanksgiving with all the trimmings and a few extra graces. Rose came home for the holiday with her husband David and spent a few days with us. We had a baby shower for her and Amanda on Friday, which went fairly well, considering it was on Black Friday. We had several guests and plenty of food and fun. I made two diaper cakes topped with rubber duckies, which looked very pretty as centerpieces. It was my first time to make one, but they turned out very well. I’m thinking I might offer to make them for sale if I find any interest in them. Rose is now six and a half months pregnant with my second grandchild. As of 8:18p.m. Nov. 29th, I got my first grandchild, Kylie Anne. She weighed in at 7lbs even, and 20” long. She’s absolutely beautiful and will be going home with Tommy and Amanda today. I got to rock her to sleep yesterday and sing a few of my old lullabies out of tune a bit. I need practice; it’s been 9 years since Joey. But the babies don’t mind!

My fall garden is doing well. I’ve got some winter greens and my garlic from last year is coming back up. My kale is doing very well now that’s it’s had some cooler weather, along with my spinach and mustards. My tomatoes and chili peppers are finished with this last cold snap I’m sure, but I’ll start fresh with those in the spring. I had a few squash and pumpkin plants, but they probably won’t make it after this cold snap either. I’ll just have to see what makes it and what don’t. We’ve had a good bit of rain now so that’s not a problem any more. I fertilized some too, so that should help a good bit, too. My garden is looking better as the days go by and I learn a little bit more about what to do and not do. I don’t have much time to spend on it now that I’m working, but I do still enjoy working in it. I don’t ever want to be without a garden again, so I’m working on a plan to spend about 30 minutes a day in it, with a few full days between times, as I can. I think that will work for me.

Jonnie came through both of his foot surgeries, and is healing well now. He’s behind in his school work, but trying to catch up now. I hope it all works out well for him in the long run. I pray for his complete healing and that he uses this experience to grow in his faith and maturity. I’m having some issues with Merry now, who is 16 and being the rebelling teenager. She seems to think that since I left her father, that I’ve abandoned her. I do struggle with trying to spend enough time with the kids that live with their father, but it’s difficult with all the things teens do on the weekends. I’m simply not there for many of her activities and if she doesn’t tell me about what’s going on in her life, sometimes I just don’t know. Pray for healing in our relationship, as I love her dearly but can’t seem to show it to her enough. I tend to be critical of her, even when I don’t mean to be, but I just can’t tolerate well her choice of words and behaviors sometimes, even though for the most part she’s a good girl. She tends to do and say things just to make me angry or embarrassed, which is trying to me. Pray that I can show her my love and be more patient and understanding with her.

When she chose to go back to live with her father, I was heart-broken and knew it would be difficult to raise her in a godly environment that way. I knew my husband would not at that time set the example that I hoped my children would have. We still have differences of opinion where movie content, and language is concerned. I would not let them watch some of the things that he’s ok with, which makes it difficult to teach godly standards when I’m not there to curb what they watch and hear. Pray that my husband will step up to the plate and put a more godly example in front of them. Pray that he get’s back in church somewhere, so that he can lead by example. Merry is really struggling with her faith right now, and I think it would help if her father were more faithful himself.

Pray for our whole family, that relationships be healed and hearts be mended. I know it is God’s will for us to be a whole family, not two halves of a family. Pray for repentance, reconciliation, and forgiveness in each of our hearts. When I see all these other families out there that have gone through divorce, and kids have two and three sets of parents because their own parents were divorced and married several times, I just don’t want that for my family. I want my kids to have one mother and one father who love them dearly. I don’t want my kids to be wondering who mama’s going to be with next or who daddy’s going to be with next. I want them to know who their family is. Proverbs 5:15-23 says to “Love your own spouse, and be faithful to your mate. If you have children by others, your family ties will be scattered about. Let them only belong to you and your spouse, and not to another. Let your family be blessed, and celebrate with the spouse of your youth. Let your mate be loving and pleasing, and let only your spouse satisfy you sexually; and always be sexually satisfied with your mate’s love. Why, children, would you want to be satisfied sexually by another, and hold on to a stranger? For the ways of humanity are seen by Yahweh God, who thinks about every choice we make. The sinful will be taken by their evil habits, and controlled by their own sins. They’ll die without teaching, going astray in their great carelessness.

God’s word tells us to be faithful to our own spouses and not to have children by others. When we divorce and remarry and have children by two or three spouses, how can a family have any unity? I know that my family is not exactly the perfect example of a godly family, but I pray that someday it will be. All our children have one father and one mother, and I want to keep it that way. Even though we don’t live together, we remain sexually faithful to one another and have no other relationships that will sever what we have left. My prayer has been and always will be for reconciliation of our marriage and family. Please pray with me that this will someday be possible.

My parents were married for over 50 years and Rocky and I are going on 30 years, now. Rocky’s parents were divorced and remarried several times, but he has not followed their example. Even when things were at their worst, he chose to remain faithful to me and not divorce, even though I would have gladly given it to him at the time if he had filed for one. And even when I had ample reason to file myself, I could not bring myself to give up hope. Though I had divorced him once and remarried him, when pressured into it by family members, I never lost hope that we would be reconciled at some point in the future. And though we have lost nine years now, being separated, I still hope for a future time when we can “celebrate with the spouse of our youth.” We both still confess our love to one another, but we still have some issues to be worked out. Pray with us for God’s will to be done in our lives. God is faithful and will redeem even this, our marriage. Me and my family are far from perfect and that I believe is why God will use us, because His grace be will shown in our weakness. My faith is not in our ability to fix things, but in God’s ability to work all things together for good to us who are called according to His plan.



I still have Christian books for sale, so if you want one, just let me know. I’m marking them down to $3 for hardbacks and $2 for softbacks, but that’s always negotiable. My book inventory is listed below, so you can still let me know if you see anything you want. Well, that’s all for now, so God bless to all and go fish for Jesus!

• My son Tommy is working hard at two minimum wage jobs and trying to make ends meet. Pray that God will lead him to a better job and to go back to school and get a degree to help him. He’s taking responsibility for his wife and baby, though, so I couldn’t be prouder! He and Amanda went to Alabama a few weeks ago and got married! That’s another prayer answered. They would have done it sooner, but her parents wouldn’t sign for her and she’s still 19.
• I am a Christian Counselor and would be willing to provide services to those in need. I have a master’s degree in Psychological Counseling and am an ordained Minister as well. Please pray that I may be useful to God’s kingdom. I can also mow yards, clean houses or anything else that needs doing. I charge $50 for a yard or 3 BR house. You provide the equipment.
• I have published all of my New Testament paraphrases on the Triond website. You can see all of my writings by going to my main Triond link at https://www.triond.com/users/Mama+Heartfilled
• I’ve also began to publish my working drafts of the Old testament on my Blogspot at http://gofishministry.blogspot.com/ and http://mamaheartfilled.lifewithchrist.org I’ve done Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and am working on Deuteronomy.
• I would appreciate if you’d let me know of grammar, punctuation, and other mistakes I may have made. My goal is to make the paraphrase as simple and clear as possible. I know they still need much work, as they are drafts of a work in progress. I don’t know of many other Bibles that use the Name of Yahweh (I am in Hebrew), so I have worked hard to get it right. Please pray that God helps me in this work, and let me know of any mistakes you find. Thank all of you who are praying for me on this.

Counselors’ Corner

November is already here and Thanksgiving is upon us! Where did the year go? My fall garden is planted and a few things have begun to germinate and sprout now that we’ve had a little rain and the weather is cooler. I do hope I get some winter greens as the caterpillars got most of my spring ones. My spring kale is actually perking up now that’s it’s had some cooler weather. My garden frames should help protect the baby plants now that the weather has turned colder. I hope so anyway. I also planted recently two baby fig trees, two blueberry bushes, one more grape vine, and I just found and planted a baby pecan tree. If I have anything to do with it, me and mine will never go hungry again! I’m doing my part with learning the gardening stuff, so I pray that God will bless my humble efforts.

Well I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year. I’ve finally got two part time jobs and maybe a third one soon. I’m working three or four days a week now. That is such a blessing. I’m now able to pay most of my bills and at least meet our basic necessities. We don’t have much left over but at least it’s a beginning. If this other job comes through, I’ll be working on Saturday’s too, which I’m not crazy about, but it would help out a lot financially. Pray that God’s will be done. I also have two grandbabies coming this year, one very soon. I can’t wait! I just pray that I get to spend some time with them. One will be in North Carolina, so I know I won’t get much time with it, but the other will be here, so maybe I’ll get to see it a good bit, I hope. God has certainly been good to me this year!

I’m still homeschooling the kids, and am able to bring them with me on one of the jobs, which is very helpful. I found some great home-school books at a garage sale this week, too. I got some A-beka readers and some math books, which I really needed. I’ve gotten most of my home-school books from Salvation Army, Christian Services, Hudson’s, and garage sales. You don’t have to spend a fortune to home-school. I’ve not bought one book at full price, and yet God has provided everything we needed and has graciously allowed me to home-school my children, which was one of my heart’s desires. We had so much trouble in the public school system that I really just don’t want to put them back in public school if I don’t have to. And Christian schools are just not in the budget right now.

I get to exercise a bit when I take Mr. Al to his exercise classes at Wesley on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After dropping him off, I hit the walking tract and am now walking two to three miles each time. I want to get back in shape and be healthy so that I can be of use to God as long as possible. If we aren’t healthy, we can’t do as much as we might otherwise. So I do want to try to keep it up and lose some weight if possible, but my metabolism seems to be at a stand still. I also found a cool piece of exercise equipment that someone had thrown out and it was in good working order. I’ve got it in my living room, if I can just find the time to use it. There’s just too much to do when I’m at home though, so I haven’t quite got it in my routine yet. But it’s there to remind me that I need to exercise. Maybe someday, I’ll get to it though.

It’s been a busy month this month as my son Jonnie broke his foot and had to have two surgeries on it. I had to stay at the hospital with him for a couple of days and help him a little bit. I get on his nerves though and I don’t have enough patience either, so I’m not so sure how well that went. I love my kids more than anything, but when they do something really stupid, I wonder if I ever did anything right as a mother. He decided to climb the roof on the band hall at Oak Grove High School and take a running jump off of it on hard ground that hadn’t had any rain in weeks. Not a good move! So much for impressing the girls! I don’t think it worked.

I guess I should be thankful, it wasn’t something worse. None of my kids have done drugs, the older ones only drink occasionally, and none smoke, thank God. They all make very good grades in school and are highly intelligent! Over all, they’re good kids, so I’m thankful. I’ve tried to lead by example as I never smoked, drank, or used any kind of drugs either, so maybe they paid some attention to me. Well, I have done some stupid things, too, though, so I can’t say much other than I hope he learned from the experience. I trust God will use even this for His glory, though I don’t know how! It did give me some time with Jonnie that I haven’t had in a long time, so that was good. Since Jonnie and Merry live with their daddy, I don’t often get the time with them that I’d like to. So it’s good when I get those opportunities that I don’t normally have.

I had one bad reaction last month from my openness about my struggle with temptation and speaking out on abuse. Someone wrote me back and said that I shouldn’t talk about things like that while trying to find work. Well, I have one thing to say about that. If you are without sin, cast the first stone. My Bible tells me “Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you will be healed.” If my openness offends anyone then I would recommend that you write me and have me remove you off my email list, as I don’t want to offend anyone. But I speak whatever I feel the Lord wants me to say, whether it’s about my own struggle with temptation and sin or about what breaks God’s heart, like domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse. God’s word tells us to bring into the light of Christ those things that are done in darkness, to expose them for what they are, that is evil. So I will speak out on these issues as long as little children and women are being abused, especially when it’s people who call themselves Christians doing it. These issues are found in the Christian community and they must be dealt with. Silence only perpetuates abuse and shames the victims. We should be shaming the perpetrators of abuse, not the victims.

Well, as none of us are without sin, though some of us would like others to believe we are, I truly hope my openness does not offend anyone. But I will not be silent about the issues I feel strongly about. When God spoke the world into existence, great things happened. And since God is our best example, I believe since God speaks, so must we. Silence never got anything done, and unless we are willing to stand up and speak out on the important issues of life, then nothing will ever change. Yes, I’m blunt and have no tact sometimes, and I do need to work on that. But I will not “shut up” as some people would like me to, and I will not “sit down” when there is work to be done. God knows I want to be one who makes a difference, even if it’s just to get others aware of the issues and moving. I may not ever do anything great, but I do hope I do a few things well. I’m working on it anyway! And God’s still working on me!

I still have Christian books for sale, so if you want one, just let me know. I’m marking them down to $3 for hardbacks and $2 for softbacks, but that’s always negotiable. My book inventory is listed below, so you can still let me know if you see anything you want. Well, that’s all for now, so God bless to all and go fish for Jesus!

Counselors’ Corner

It’s October! Fall is officially here. The weather is turning cooler in the mornings, but boy is it hot and dry in the afternoons. I finally got my fall garden planted, but the weather isn’t letting much germinate. I do have butternut squash coming up though. Squash is so easy, a good plant for beginners, like me. My spring kale is still hanging in there, but barely. This hot dry weather is about to do everything in. Hopefully we’ll get some more rain soon. I just built some cold frames for my garden out of some old scrap lumber the neighbors threw out. I had enough to build three frames, which should help when the weather turns cold and in the early spring. I just need some plastic to cover them when it’s cold.

Well this month has been very busy. I had the Priscilla Shirer Conference one weekend and Awana training the next weekend. Both were real blessings to me and many more, too. God was busy at both! I saw miracles at the first, and more blessings at the second. I also have gotten some extra work from a lady at the church, which has truly been a blessing to me. But also a learning experience as well. We were cleaning up and organizing her office when I found an envelope containing $20. Now I really thought I was beyond this kind of temptation by now, but I found myself struggling about weather to keep that $20 to myself or tell the lady I was working for. Well I battled it out and did the right thing, and handed her the envelope. As I was leaving that day, I told her of my struggle with that, and what did she do? She turned around and gave me that $20 for gas money on top of what she paid me for the work I did. God blessed me greatly for winning that battle, but it served to teach me that none of us are beyond temptation, even myself, when we are facing hardship. Proverbs:7-9 says, “Don’t deny me these two things that I ask of You before I die: Take away from me self-importance and lies, and don’t give me poverty or riches, but provide my food daily; If I’m too full, I might think I don’t need You, and say, Who is Yahweh? But if I’m poor, I might steal, and misuse the Name of my God.” This is my prayer from now on! Pray that God will help me and that I will win any future battles with temptation!

Speaking of our sins, I have a word or two to say about making promises and not keeping them. Now a certain man at the church promised to come and look at my bathroom sink that hasn’t been working for nearly two years now. He called for assistance from one of our pastors at temple, who said that he would come and help. Three different times for one reason or another, they said they were coming and have not shown up. The last time came and went, without even a call to let me know what the problem was. Now my kids and I were really hopeful that we would finally get our sink fixed, and were let down again. And knowing it was two godly men who made that promise and didn’t keep it, sure doesn’t help our faith any. It reinforces my lack of faith in men, in general, and Christian men, in particular, especially those who don’t keep their word. And this coming from a pastor at our church, doesn’t help matters any.

Now maybe I shouldn’t be complaining, because they were going to do it for free, but making promises and not keeping them, is a real issue with me. It shows a total lack of integrity, as far as I’m concerned. Now maybe there was a legitimate reason for them not showing up, and I can accept that, even if it is the third time. But a phone call to explain would have been appropriate, I think. I gave them my Mom’s phone number, in case there was a problem this time, and called the secretary’s office and left a message after the no-show. But I have yet to receive any explanation. Now, Christians, I just don’t think this is appropriate behavior for people, who call themselves Christians. I say this with my recent struggle with temptation, fresh on my mind. We, as Christians, should treat each other better than this.

I realize that we all struggle with sin and temptation, and we all have things come up that hinder us from doing God’s will. I have struggled myself a great deal over the last few weeks since I’ve been working, finding the time to work on my paraphrase. I know this is what God wants me to do, and yet I seem to let everything else get in the way. The last word I received from God about my lack of employment was that God didn’t want me to have any other responsibility at this time, because it would hinder me from working on the paraphrase, and doing what God wants me to do. I see now that, in fact, that is the case. I struggle every day with what to do and not do. God’s work seems to always get put on the back burner. God graciously let me get two small part time jobs to help pay the bills at least, but it messes up my mornings when I used to do my paraphrase research and study. Now I have to find a way to readjust my schedule and do that work at another time. And I am at a stand still. God help me! Pray that I can be more faithful to God’s call on my life and that I will win this battle over finding time for God’s work.

I still have Christian books for sale, so if you want one, just let me know. I’m marking them down to $3 for hardbacks and $2 for softbacks, but that’s always negotiable. My book inventory is listed below, so you can still let me know if you see anything you want. Well, that’s all for now, so God bless to all and go fish for Jesus!

Deuteronomy (The Second Copy of the Law) Chapters 6-10

Deuteronomy
(The Second Copy of the Law)
Chapters 6-10

6[1-2] Now these are the judgments, the laws, and the rules, which Yahweh your God told me to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to take for your own; so that you might respect Yahweh your God, and keep all God’s laws and judgments as long as you live, which I tell you, your children, and your grandchildren, so that you may live longer. So listen, Israel, and do it; that you may be well, and that you may greatly increase your people, as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has promised you, in a land full of milk and honey.
[4-9] Listen, Israel: Yahweh is our God! Yahweh is One God! Love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Let these words, which I tell you today, stay in your heart. Teach them to your children faithfully, and talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk down the street, when you go to sleep, and when you get up. Put them on as a pendant on a bracelet on your hand, and let them be as a pendant on a chain falling between your eyes. Write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.
[10-12] When Yahweh your God brings you into the land promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities, which you didn't build; houses, all full of good things, which you didn't fill; wells dug out, which you didn't dig; and gardens and fruit trees, which you didn't plant, and you eat and are full; then be careful in case you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of hard work and slaving.
[13-16] Respect and serve Yahweh your God, and make your promises by the name of Yahweh. Don’t go after other gods, of the false gods of the peoples who are all around you, because Yahweh your God, who is with you, is a jealous God; and in case Yahweh your God turns angry against you, and destroys you from off the face of the earth. Don’t tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted God in Madessah.
[17-19] Keep the Laws of Yahweh your God faithfully, the judgments and laws, which God has told you. Do what’s right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that you may be blessed, and that you may go in and take the good land which Yahweh promised to your ancestors to throw out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.
[20-23] And when your children ask you in the time to come, saying, ‘What do these things mean, the laws and the rules, which Yahweh our God has told you? Then you’ll tell your children, ‘We were Pharaoh's workers in Egypt, and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with great power; and Yahweh showed great and breathtaking signs and amazing things in Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, right before our eyes; and brought us out from there, to bring us in and give us the land that was promised to our ancestors.
[24-25] So Yahweh told us to do all these laws, to respect Yahweh our God, for our good always, that God might keep us alive, as it is today. We will be good, if we do all these judgments before Yahweh our God, as God has told us.
7[1-5] When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go for your own, and throws out many nations before you, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and stronger than you; and when Yahweh your God gives them to you, and you kill them; then you’ll completely destroy them. Make no agreement with them, nor show mercy to them; Don’t make marriages with them; Don’t give your daughter to their children, nor take their daughters to your children because they’ll turn away your children from following Me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh will be angry at you, and will quickly destroy you. But do this to them: Break down their altars, and break their sacred posts in pieces, and cut down their trees used to worship Asherah, and burn those false gods with fire.
[6-10] You’re a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be God’s own special people, more than any other people on the earth. Yahweh didn't love you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any other people; but you were the fewest in number of all the peoples. But Yahweh loves you, and wants to keep the oath which was promised to your ancestors, so Yahweh brought you out with great power, and freed you out of the place of hard work and slaving, from the power of Pharaoh ruler of Egypt. So know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God, who keeps promises and agreements and shows loving kindness on those who love and keep God’s Laws up to a thousand generations, and repays those who hate God to their face, to destroy them. God will not forget those who hate God, and will repay them to their face.
[11-15] So keep the judgments, the laws, and the rules, which I tell you today, and do them. If you listen to these rules, and keep and do them, then Yahweh your God will keep with you the promised agreement and show the loving kindness which was promised to your ancestors. God will love you and bless you, and make you have many children; and will also bless your children and the harvest of your ground, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, and the herds of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which God promised to your ancestors to give you. You’ll be blessed above all peoples: there won’t be a male or a female unable to have children among you, or among your livestock. Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, will come on you, but God will put them on all those who hate you.
[16-20] You’ll destroy all the peoples who Yahweh your God gives to you; Don’t pity them, nor serve their false gods; because that will be a trap to you. If you say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we take them?” Don’t be afraid of them. Remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all of Egypt; the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and amazing things, and the great power and strength, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so Yahweh your God will do to all the peoples of whom you’re afraid. Also Yahweh your God will send the hornet to attack them, until those who are left that hide themselves, die from before you.
[21-26] Don’t be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, who is a great and awesome God. Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. Don’t destroy them all at once, in case the animals of the field increase on you. But Yahweh your God will give them to you, and will confuse them with a great panic, until they’re destroyed. God will give their rulers into your power, and you’ll make their name be forgotten out of the earth: No one will be able to stand before you, until you’ve destroyed them. Burn with fire all their false gods. Don’t want the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, in case you be trapped by it; for it’s counted as wrong by Yahweh your God. Don’t bring anything that is counted as wrong into your house, and worshiped it. Completely hate it, and count it as wrong because it was worshipped.
8[1-5] Do all the judgments which I tell you today, that you may live, and have many children, and go in and take the land which Yahweh promised to your ancestors. Remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the countryside, to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep God’s Laws, or not. God humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, nor did your ancestors know; to make you know that people do not live by bread only, but people live by everything that comes out of the mouth of Yahweh. Your clothing didn't grow old on you, nor did your feet swell, these forty years. Know in your heart that as a parent corrects their children, so Yahweh your God corrects you.
[6-10] So keep the Laws of Yahweh your God, follow God’s ways, and respect God. Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of creeks and streams, and underground springs flowing into the valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; a land in which you’ll eat bread without lack, You won’t lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. You’ll eat and be full, and you’ll bless Yahweh your God for the good land which God has given you.
[11-17] So be careful in case you forget Yahweh your God, and don’t keep God’s judgments, rules, and laws, which I tell you today, and in case, when you’ve eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses, and lived in them; and when your herds and your flocks have grown, and your silver and your gold is much, and all that you have has become plentiful; then your heart is lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of hard work and slaving; who led you through the great and terrible countryside, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you water out of the flint rock; who fed you in the countryside with manna, which your ancestors didn't know; to humble you, and test you, to do you good in the long run: and in case you say in your heart, “My own strength and power has gotten me all this wealth.”
[18-20] But remember Yahweh your God, for it’s God who gives you the ability to get wealth; to keep the promised agreement which was promised to your ancestors, as at today. But if you forget Yahweh your God, and follow other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you today that you’ll, without a doubt, die. You’ll die as the nations that Yahweh makes to die before you, because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
9[1-5] Listen, Israel: you’re to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to take ownership of nations greater and stronger than yourself, cities great and strongly built up to the sky, a people as great and as tall as the Anakim giants, whom you know, and of whom you’ve heard say, “Who can stand before the people of Anak?” So know today, that Yahweh your God is the One who goes over before you as a burning fire; and will destroy them, and will bring them down before you. So drive them out, and make them die quickly, as Yahweh has told you. Don't say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrown them out from before you, saying, “For my goodness Yahweh has brought me in to take ownership this land;” while it’s for the evil of these nations Yahweh will drive them out from before you. Not for any good that you’ve done, or for the goodness of your heart, do you go in to take ownership their land; but for the evil of these nations Yahweh your God drives them out from before you, to keep the word which Yahweh promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
[6-10] So know that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land for your own for your goodness; because you’re a stubborn people. Remember, and don't forget, how you made Yahweh your God very angry in the countryside from the day that you left the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you’ve fought against Yahweh. Also in Horeb you made Yahweh very angry, and God was angry enough with you to destroy you. But when I had gone up onto the mountain to get the stone slabs, even the slabs of the Law which Yahweh made for you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; and I didn’t eat any bread nor drink any water. Then Yahweh gave to me the two stone slabs written with the finger of God; and on them was written all the words, which Yahweh told you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
[11-] At the end of forty days and forty nights, Yahweh gave me the two stone slabs, even the slabs of the Law. Then Yahweh said to me, “Get up, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you’ve brought forth out of Egypt have ruined themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I told them; they have made them a false god.” Also Yahweh told me, saying, “I’ve seen this people, and you see, they’re a stubborn people. Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and make their name be forgotten from the earth; and I’ll make of you a nation stronger and greater than they.”
[15-21] So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two slabs of the Law were in my two hands. I looked and saw that you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf and had turned quickly away from what Yahweh had told you. So I took hold of the two slabs, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. Then I fell down before Yahweh, as I did the first time, for another forty days and forty nights; I didn’t eat bread nor drink any water; because of all your sin which you sinned, doing what was evil to Yahweh, to make God very angry. I was afraid of the anger and rage, which Yahweh had against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also. And Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him but I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the stream that fell out of the mountain.
[22-29] At Taberah, Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you made Yahweh very angry. When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and take the land which I’ve given you; then you fought against the judgments of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe God, nor listen to God’s voice. You’ve fought against Yahweh from the day that I knew you. So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had promised to destroy you. But I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Yahweh God, don't destroy your people, your own people, that you’ve freed through your greatness, that you’ve brought out of Egypt with a great power. Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and don't look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their evil, nor at their sin, in case the land where you brought us out say, “Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which was promised to them, and because God hated them, God has brought them out to kill them in the countryside.” Yet they are your own people, which you brought out by your great power and by your great strength.
10[1-5] At that time Yahweh said to me, Cut out two stone slabs like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make a box of wood. I’ll write on the slabs the words that were on the first slabs which you broke, and you’ll put them in the box. So I made a box of acacia wood, and cut out two stone slabs like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two slabs in my hands. God wrote on the slabs, just like the first writing, the Ten Laws, which Yahweh told you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me. I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the slabs in the box which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh told me.
[6-9] The people of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there, and was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place. From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of creeks. At that time Yahweh set apart the family group of Levi, to handle the box of the Law of Yahweh, to minister to Yahweh, and to bless in Yahweh’s name, to today. So Levi has no part of the land with his brothers; Yahweh is Levi’s inheritance, as Yahweh your God said.
[10-] I stayed on the mountain, as the first time, forty days and forty nights. Yahweh listened to me that time also and did not destroy you. Yahweh said to me, Get up, and move out before the people; and they will go in and take the land, which I promised to their ancestors to give to them. Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to respect and love Yahweh your God, to follow God’s ways, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, to keep the Laws and judgments of Yahweh, which I tell you today for your own good?
[14-22] See, heaven and the heaven of heavens, and the earth, and everything in it belongs to Yahweh your God. Only Yahweh was happy to love your ancestors, and chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as at today. So cut the foreskin of your heart, and don’t be so stubborn. For Yahweh your God is God of gods, and Ruler of rulers, the great God, the great and awesome God, who doesn't consider who a person is, nor can be bribed. God gets justice for the orphan and the survivor, and loves to give the foreigner food and clothing. So love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. Respect and serve Yahweh your God; and hold on to God, and make your promises by God’s name. Yahweh is your praise, and your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen. Your ancestors went down into Egypt with seventy people; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky you are so many.
