Deuteronomy 27: The Downward Spiral

Do you ever think there is significance to the order in which things are listed in the Bible? I’m not sure if Deuteronomy 27 qualifies, but I want to play with the idea for a bit. Humor me today. Okay? The chapter contains a list of 12 curses that the entire Israelite society is supposed …

Deuteronomy 12: Bible Drinking Game

The tag-line of this blog is “blogging through the Bible with irreverent reverence.” Today, I am going to lean heavily on the irreverent side. Heavily.

Ok, so I decided to change it up a bit today. Deuteronomy is getting a little repetitive so I need to keep it fresh-like. Here is my very first ever video blog! Applying my keen “Holmesyan” observation skills to the video, I noticed that I talk with my hands. A lot. I also think lots …

Numbers 9: Keep The Passover

This post would be another one of my “on location” posts where I write from somewhere that is not my home. Today, I am sitting in a lodge looking out at the sunset on a lake north of Spokane, Washington. It is stupid beautiful. This is the annual InterVarsity Northwest Regional gathering and I will …
