Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

I belong to an online book club, and yesterday I received this recommendation. "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" by Jon Ronson.

While the book is about "Internet Shaming" there is a whole section devoted to a NYT Best Selling author who actually LIED about Bob Dylan, inventing six quotations that supposedly explained Dylan's creative process in writing a song. This, of course, could be easily checked by Dylan's Management, and by the Nobel Laureate himself. A storm of public shame followed, resulting in the author's being fired from The New Yorker, and the publisher's recall of the remaining books. Further inquiry into the author's work found plagiarism, misquotes, and outright lies, as well as a lot of recycling of his own material (well...that part is not so bad...Tchaikovsky did that too!).

What is perhaps the most glaring problem is that the author (Jonah Lehrer) was able to get away with this for so long. Of course, the acclaim of being a Best-Selling-Author, makes the "Fall" so much more difficult and shameful.

A few days ago, I wrote the word "Canadian" when I should have written "Acadian". I was wrong. I am sorry. Perhaps the quarantine is getting to me! In any case, I am navigating this alone and try to be original and truthful every day. It's not easy, but you can bet I won't be attributing fake quotes to Bob Dylan! :-)

Tomorrow will be the last Hebrew Worship Word that we will derive from Strong's Concordance. We will continue looking at Music in The Bible, and will not visit Strong's again until we get to the New Testament. Then it will be Greek, which, like English, reads from left to right, rather than right to left like Hebrew. This little difference has been wreaking havoc with my formatting (HTML doesn't like the right-to-left stuff), but the Greek words will not be as difficult.

In the meantime, we will go back to the time of Solomon and his Temple, and the importance of Music in that setting. See you tomorrow!

Come and pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

God Bless America!

Psalm 133

A Song of Ascents.

1 How very good and pleasant it is
when kindred live together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down upon the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down over the collar of his robes.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord ordained his blessing,
life for evermore.

Joining in prayer. God bless.

(Please don’t ever apologize, ML, for occasional mistakes. You have been doing a splendid work for 10 years, I for one am very grateful to you. Without you, I would not know the Bible. Growing up in Italy, we never studied it, so never developed an interest. You have changed me for the better. Thank you!)

They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."
