Adolphus Search and Rescue had dealt with many serious injuries, and could have saved Moses if the murderess had only assaulted his throat. However, the angle and violence of the final blow had broken both his skull and his neck. He was dead before his murderer was killed.

"It doesn't seem right," Raleigh said, "to go and bring in another gluckast so soon after this happened."

Dr. Kilver's humorous gleam had been replaced with a downcast but stubborn front.

"We do not know," he said, "how long Number One will be contagious - it is most crucial that we continue, now that she is all we have left. She is square one."

"This is not a search and rescue," Mundbern said then, "no human dies if a gluckast remains a gluckast. Are we to abandon the purpose of Adolphus Search and Rescue, and let human beings go unhelped because we are spent on this endeavor?"

"Gluckasts are one of the chief threats we face - eradicating them is a cause even without their humanisation."

"So far it has proven more dangerous than killing them outright. And how quickly do the gluckasts breed? Eradication may never happen."

Elroy put in a word: "This could change very rapidly: it is a unique case where in less than a month we have a fully grown person, ready to help so long as they are willing. This is faster than even insects breed, and with their help we could build an entire compound: soon we would even be capable of infecting the gluckasts and tending for the infected en masse."

"And," said Dr. Kilver, "this all rests on our success at this present stage."

Raleigh sighed.

"It appears that you ask us to declare a war."

"I do. Only I would say that war is already declared."

"Remember," said Mundbern, "that it was not a gluckast who killed Moses. It was a human."

"I mean that the very nature of the gluckast is a declaration of war. We simply see now a path to victory. We must take it, or we have surrendered to the Devil."

"I wonder," said Raleigh, "how the gluckast originated, having such a nature."

"Some diabolical foul play - perhaps better not to know. I have no doubt that this mysterious contagion of humanity is the riposte of heaven."

Gareth said, "It will succeed."

To be continued.

Prayer -- Day 25

Move Mountains

"I tell you the truth, if anyone say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." (Mark 11:23)

Pray that your mountainous difficulty will be removed and as you pray, believe that it is being done. Don’t have the hazy idea that “this mountain” may be removed sometime in the future, but believe that YHVH is removing it for you now.

The reactions to this video show just how ignorant most Christians are concerning the foundational scriptures about the New Covenant.

Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.
Proverbs 19:2 ESV

I think the TLV has the correct sense of this verse. Nephesh should be translated as zeal, not soul, flesh, or desire, although the latter isn't too far off.

"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" as they say. It's good to act quickly when you know what you're doing and what the possible consequences are, but if you don't understand where you are or where you're headed, it's better to take the time to learn before acting.

We home schooled our kids. They all became productive citizens well ahead of their time, with my youngest being 17 having 3 semesters of college under her belt. Here are tips and tricks we learned, and some apply to any type of education. #homeschool
