Perhaps some of the minor prophets see less attention than Judges, but certainly, as far as the narrative passages go, the book of Judges doesn’t see a whole lot of action on Sunday mornings. On one hand, it's easy to understand…

My wife and I were camping one time. We had hiked all day. It was a warm summer evening, clear sky so we decided to leave the rain fly off of our tent giving us an open view of the heavens above us. In the dark mountain night we gazed at the stars in utter amazement of the beauty and wonder of the stars.…

It’s Your Choice Choices - I’ve made a few this week, how about you? Some of them are pretty inconsequential - the choice doesn’t really matter in the big picture.

He says to “Clear the way!”
