Nehemiah Chapter 9 – A Historical Confession 1-5 – This chapter beings with the people of Israel assembled and fasting, in sackcloth and dirt. Those of Israelite descent separate (this word always disturbs me) themselves from the “foreigners” and stood to confess their sins and those of their ancestors. They stood and read from the...

I have the best DH ever. He is amazing and takes such good care me. We recently found out there were mice in my office at one of my little churches and I was totally freaked out. Yes, I'm quite the baby. Anyway, it appeared they had moved into the couch in there. So some... Continue Reading →

Nehemiah Chapter 6 So we continue on with Chapter 6. Enemies within and without 1-9 The other officials become concerned about this wall being built around Jerusalem. They want to “talk” with Nehemiah but he fears they intend him harm so he refuses to meet with them. The last time they write, they say that... Continue Reading →

This week, we begin with reading Nehemiah Chapter 5. Greed 1-5 Greed had infiltrated the people. Those who had, took more from those who didn’t. They seemed to take advantage of those in need.
