Created OOMs 👉
Grass grows between my fingers, in case I want to play. Burning suns ride over my buried head, whispering into the darkness of my sleep.
The dust of treasure houses, the roots of stumps, spokes without rims, and flags without staffs.
The carcass is dragged out of the towering tomb, its mounded weight dragged into the air, into the commerce, need, hum of rolling thought, dragged by the hand of a child.

i just feel moved to talk around this.
so we know not to eat food once we're told it's been offered to an idol. now that's totally about the food. and, it's never about the food!
been reading this post of about 34 weeks ago, and there was talk of saturday, and it being named after saturn, and that being wrong.
correct, but there's no problem in saying saturday, it's just a concept to determine a day, until someone says that this is in honour of saturn. now that's the moment to respond, i'm afraid i can't go along with that, i now cannot say it is saturday to you anymore, you have given it another concept. if you wish, you can have a go at explaining why to that person.
in the same way, and this is why i'm writing this post, i look at the term Jesus Christ. it's the anglification of Yeshua the Messiah, which is also a 'translation'. when i say Jesus, i mean the Son in all His glory, exactly that, and only that.
when an xtian uses it, one with bad intent, he's abusing the name to gain control of you(r worldview). and, sensing this, you recoil at this.
it's that (group of) xtian(s), that what they intend by (ab)using the name, that you're recoiling from, not the name.
so to them, you say, now i cannot say JC to you anymore.
and then there's the flipside, talking to someone to who the name JC itself has now become 'bad'. now i must attempt to refrain from hurting that person. thankfully, in this instance i can also attempt to correct the misunderstanding.
it is respectful to pronounce a name correctly. especially so if we're talking about the Father or the Son, but we don't really know the correct pronunciation.
when a name has power, if you can understand that concept, you don't want apprentice mickey mouse to utter the broom into action. we're all still apprentices to that effect. so what a surprise that YHWH has no vowels. if the ancients knew how to pronounce it, and out of fear and respect didn't, when they passed on the pronunciation, wouldn't they maybe have deliberately MIS-pronounced it? to make sure it didn't get used erroneously?
just saying.
also, have you noticed how many versions of the names roll by on this site alone? i blink.
it's never about the food. look at the intention, now tailor your response.
to th(os)e one(s) who suffer(ed for years) over this, that hurt moved me to broach this subject.
Thought for Today: Friday February 21
“YHVH is with you” – These four words are like a safety net, protecting you from falling into despair. Because you are human, you will always have ups and downs in your life experience. But the promise of Elohiym’s presence limits how far down you can go. Sometimes, you may feel as if you are in a free-fall, when people of things you had counted on, let you down. Yet, as soon as you confess that YHVH is with you, your perspective changes radically. Instead of bemoaning your circumstances, you can always turn to YHVH for help. He is not only with you, He is holding your hand, guiding you with His counsel, and afterwards He will take you into glory. Thus, the only perspective you need, is the reassurance of His presence and the glorious hope of heaven.
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of YHVH." Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, where the tribes go up, the tribes of YHVH to give thanks to the name of YVHV. For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.......
