#deuteronomy 28 spends a lot of ink on curses for disobedience, but little on blessings for obedience. Perhaps this has to do with the ambiguous and subjective nature of many blessings.

The light of God desires to shine through us into the world, but it can't if we are only focused on ourselves. The ultimate goal of every righteous man must be to become an effective conduit of God's Light into his community and even the whole world.

The Pursuits of Righteousness and Blessing - American Torah

Deuteronomy 28 is infamous among students of the Torah for its short list of blessings for obedience to God's commands and very long list of curses for disobedience. A chiasm in verses 2-7 caught my eye as I was reading this chapter last week.

And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
Mark 9:35

The Kingdom is not a competition. Our King neither engages in, nor honors court intrigues. The one who rises to the top will be the one who humbles himself in service to others.

Good Morning ☀️ ☕️

It’s starting to feel like fall. Cold in the mornings, still warm in the day though. ???

I've written gospel music over the years since I was young but never did anything with it online. I was considering getting a copyright on it but in today's world copyright laws have changed and simply publishing it means it is protected by copyright. So I am considering recording it and publishing it on my video sharing site. What are your thoughts on this? Should I get a government copyright or am I safe to simply publish it as it is?

Since I already have a Link directory on my blog I'm not going to put one on the main site as I originally thought. The one already on the blog is working well.
