A Short Note of Despair

Or, As Cervantes Said: Forewarned is Forearmed

I made the mistake of looking ahead in my reading, just to get an idea of what Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy have in store for me and...Holy Moses, but it does look like grim reading. Rules, rules, nothing but rules, with a bit of gratuitous violence thrown in here and there. I will have to figure out how best to approach these books because my initial response was "Get me out of here!" and that would be breaking my promise to myself and to you to forge ahead. 

I will say this: What a world it must have been back then for all of this to be considered necessary. As screwed up as the 21st century undoubtedly is, life back then must have been absolutely bonkers.

Anyway, we still have something like thirty-four chapters of Exodus to explore before we even get to Leviticus. You will be happy to know that most of those thirty-four chapters are filled with instructions on how to properly construct a tabernacle and all of its necessary components.

In the meantime, I hope both of my readers here have a lovely Memorial Day weekend. I will be taking the time off the blog in order to practice and then play "Taps" at 3:00 PM Monday out on the front porch as part of "Tap Across America". If you play an instrument, pick it up and join me.
