Hello Grafted In Reader,
Today is Monday, March 3, 2025 in my corner of blog land. Much change affot for many folks here in the good old U.S.A.
Hence the choice of title for this post, a song titled, Come What May.
The annual observance of the Catholic tradition of Lent begins this coming Wednesday. It is a period of introspection, self-exam, prayer, fasting, and doing good to others. For those who relish this tradition, I would commend to your reading or listening a book titled, The School Of Jesus Crucified, by the late Father Ignatius. It is a book centered on the passion of Christ and written as if it were Christ giving the discourse.
In Judaism, the Festival of Purim recently occurred. This commemorates the Biblical story of Esther being used by HaShem (God) to put down the efforts of the evil man Haman to have the Jews wiped out.
In both cases, God is the centre of the observation.
On a third note, "Biblical Archaeology Review" celebrates its 50th anniversary this Spring. They have put out an issue focused on the last 50 years in Archaeology, discoveries, and changes within the discipline itself. Google "Biblical Archaeology Review" for more info.
Reading month is underway! I am currently in my second read for the month, the autobio of former Vice-President, Michael Pence. He is its author and audio narrator. My first read was by author Dr. Doug James, The Life and Times of Walter Cronkite. My third read will be a work of fiction.
I commend all the above to you for your potential further exploration. Meantime, thanks for dropping by, inviting someone else to do the same, and may HaShem bless and keep us until we meet up again!
Mellow Rock,
David C. Russell, Author
