...your credit on time and in full, you establish a good credit history. The better your credit history, the larger your spending limits in the future. Pretty simple, right? As I read the story of Abram/Abraham, the credit concept rears its head, but in a splendid way. In the beginning of Genesis 15, Abram (Hebrew for "exalted father"; note the singularity of fatherhood here) is in conversation with...

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so --now -- knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.

With huge thanks and hugs to silent_sensei , who brought to my attention, these very Abe lyrics - "What If It All Goes Right?" by Melissa Lawson (winner of Nashville Star) They've been using this...fly What if it all goes right What if it all works out What if the stars line up And good luck rains down What if you chase your dream And it changes your whole life Yeah, what if it all goes right

...of little tidbits that don't relate to each other at all. What I'm going to do is to pinpoint the specific parts I want to talk about and go from there. The whole basis of the chapter was that Abraham sent one of his servants to get Isaac a wife. But the wife could not be from the land of the Canaanites but a woman from where Abraham was from and I family related. The servant swore an oath to...

Genesis 23 The Death of Sarah This was a sad moment in Abraham's life. Sarah lived to be 127 and I don't she lived that much longer after Isaac was born. I'm sure it was tough on the young boy also. I presume Abraham was in the land of the Hittites at this time as he spoke to them to use some of their land to bury his wife. In this situation, God was good to Abraham. He gave him much favor. ...

...right now and probably uninteresting. I'm not on a paid account so I'm still working with getting used to the design opportunities on this site. Other than that, this current blog on the story of Abraham and his faith have been going on for a while. It started in Genesis 12 and this post will mark Chapter 22. If you want to read the other posts, you're going to have to dig into my personal blog...

...launcher. It all began many a year ago. For a dark and stormy night, it was rather bright and dayish. Halloween was right around the corner and costumes were in preparation. Kaz was readying his Abraham “Bees” Lincoln outfit (his creation from a something awful forum post, I think) and to complement it, was working on a bee cannon. A moderate size, (non-removable) clip based semi-auto nerf gun...

I've really enjoyed the last few day's daily quotes so I thought I'd assemble them here. (08/02/08) I'm Always Receiving the Essence of What I'm Giving. . . Appreciation and love, and alignment to that... you will come into vibrational alignment with who-you-really-are and with the things you really want, and once you do that, the Universe must deliver to you a viable means to achieve your desires.

Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths By Bruce Feiler               I’ve never reviewed an audio book; in fact, prior to this year I didn’t even use them.  Why , I would ask myself as I walked past rows of CDs in the bookstore, would anyone trade away the wonderful sensation and tactile delight of a book? The scent of the pages, the crisp snap when you open a hardcover or the...

... What proof is there that the Pearl of Great Price is true if the papyri is translated incorrectly? Why doesn’t the translation of the Egyptian papyri found in 1967 match the text of the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price? Michael D. Rhodes, “I Have a Question,” Ensign , July 1988, 51–53 Michael D. Rhodes, researcher in ancient scriptures, Brigham Young...
