Vicarious Blessings

This post has been a long time in coming. Maybe I'm a little behind the curve, but for the, oh, lets say ,last six months I get real joy out of my friends blessings. Now mind you, I don't mean blessings between me and my friends. But rather the blessings I have nothing o do with, the promotion at work, tickets to the big game or show, the new love. Now of course, the closer I am to the person receiving the blessing the the more I rejoice. It is amazing how little I think about myself regarding these things, I think I will be just as happy with vicarious blessings as I am with my own.

Anointed ones

So, like I said before, I'm reading though Numbers. There is so much in this book it's going to take a while to read it all. I feel compelled to stop reading and just stew in what I've read. Case in point, Numbers 16 A bunch of people decide that they should be peers to Moses and Aaron, they were wrong and God caused the earth to swallow them, like aSandworm from Dune. After spending a couple of days in awe. I begin to think of Daniel, I know it sounds odd, but this is my blog. I wonder if that episode (Moses not Dune) popped into Daniel's head in 1 Sam 26:8-11. It seems like a good reason to respect authority.
