A number of years ago, when the new Volkswagen Beetle was introduced, one of the features that received significant attention was that it was burglarproof. Volkswagen bragged there was no way anybody could steal their car. To demonstrate their point, VW hired a professional burglar and called a

A blessing is God’s expression of favor on you. In the passage we look at this morning, God commanded his priests to give his people a blessing from him. When I started looking at this passage this week, one image came to mind. It’s sort of funny actually, but a scene from Rocky II came to mind.

DESCRIBE ME
I heard about a rabbit and a snake meeting in the forest. The rabbit said, "We don’t know how we look. Why don’t we describe each other to the other so we’ll know how we look?" The snake said, "Good idea. You’ve got a pink nose, long ears, and a fluffy little tail." The rabbit liked
