 a paraphrased ‘enter the story’

 🍃🕊️  reading & study  🕊️🍃

09/10 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

7 - Every kind of beast and bird, reptile and sea creature, can be tamed! And has been tamed. 8 But no one can tame the human tongue! {And today the typing finger.} It’s a restless evil. Full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father. And with it we curse people. People who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth {and typing finger} comes blessing and cursing. My brethren/brothers and sisters, this ought not to be! 11 Does a spring of water gush forth both fresh, living water, and salt water as well? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond (snarkiness or worse) yield fresh (life giving) waters.

Tomorrows verses - James 3:13-18

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post.. which has turned out to be an interesting way to ‘enter the ‘story’. 

Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)
