    The labor of the man became hard labor over an earth that yielded little. The labor of the woman became hard labor not just in the act of birth, but in the ongoing action of childrearing and coping with her man’s gripes about his work, not to mention her own work.

    23rd Sunday in Course We learn our place and earn our bread with hard labor. We become wise, Lord, and begin to understand our place and yours only when our hair is white, our minds slowed, our joints unable to leap to do your will.

     | 1,880 views

    The Lord must build the house (be the foundation for your life). There is no other foundation and it is vain to think otherwise. The Psalm says children are a gift from the Lord. We look at the evil of Solomon who was an idolater, but wrote this Psalm early in his life.

    Dream 9-29-08 I dreamed that my brother, Terry, was preaching a sermon on using God’s Name in vain. He emphasized phrases such as “GOOD GOD”, “JESUS”, “GOD”, “LORDY, LORDY”. He said all kinds of phrases we use that are wrong. He said that we use these
