Good Morning!  I keep thinking I will awake to a warm morning, certainly not this morning.  The sun is helpful, but warm would be good.  The animal kingdom was calmer last night, they have been wild this week.  Natalie is off to Chicago for the weekend, we have the office covered, Dixie is doing double duty.  Great Wednesday, always good to eat and worship together. Have a great day!

“The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”  Samuel 4:22

Eli has just lost his two sons in battle against the Philistines. Samuel had brought the word to Eli telling this would happen because the boys weren’t faithful in their duties as priests.  Eli has died and the stress of all this cause his daughter-in-law to go into labor and give birth to a son, Ichabod. Interesting Ichabod means the glory of the Lord has departed.  What will happen to Israel?  We know the rest of the story, the question is could this have been avoided?  Hmm.  There is a lesson in this.  Just a thought for today.

Yesterday’s question: What city with a biblical name lies on the Delaware River?  Philadelphia    Peter Walter is our winner today.
