Again Seeker
An {again} seeker like me chases {re} words, the agains of rest, and repeat events that make life interesting.
As in rev up. Some days my writing motor needs to have a few more revolutions to keep me going. I wonder if I can come up with yet another again word. And, I’m not even halfway through the 365 days. I’ve not even gotten to 100. I only have 280 words on a list.…

“Come, I’ve prepared a table just for you.” The waiter was being facetious. He had not prepared a table solely for us. We were next in line. Yet, he gave me pause. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalm…

The Shema is an important part of Jewish liturgy. Maybe the most important part. When Jesus is asked what’s the most important commandment in Matthew, he doesn’t respond with the Big 10.
