20 The rest of mankind, those who were not killed by these plagues, even then did not turn from what they had made with their own hands — they did not stop worshipping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.21 Nor did they turn from their murdering, their involvement with the occult and with drugs, their sexual immorality or their stealing. source

Good Morning.
May I give you something to ponder?
Yeshua is speaking here with people who are well familiar with the Scrolls of Moses, all those GOD-breathed words preserved for them and for us.
45 “But don’t think that it is I who will be your accuser before the Father. Do you know who will accuse you? Moshe, the very one you have counted on! 46 For if you really believed Moshe, you would believe me; because it was about me that he wrote. 47 But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” source
Scripture.
How do we read it?
Do we read it as the Books that will judge the conduct of mankind?
We should read it that way — don’t you think?
How does our day-to-day conduct line up with Scripture?
Will the Scripture exonerate us or condemn us when those Books are opened in Heaven?
Revelation 20:12 Complete Jewish Bible
12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done. source
Before closing, I am reminded of one more Scripture address.
Romans 8:1 Complete Jewish Bible
8 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. source
I think as I open this page, I do not have much to say but I saw the opening of my last post reading: December 31, 2022, and I thought, well, you better get something on the screen for 2023. So here I am.
Quietly here I am.
We had a lovely day yesterday. Good food and love-filled conversation around the table.
Today?
It’s a mystery yet but we do hope to take a load to the recycling deposit.
Upload for us – download for them I suppose.
Are you contemplating the year? Are you wondering what it will bring?
None of us know the future, but we can or do know the GOD of the Future.
I noticed when it clicked from 11:59 December 31, 2022, to 12:00 January 1, 2023, there was no poof, all that was was gone and all that is new was here.
Nope.
Man (and woman) is not good at making lasting changes — but GOD, He is Perfect at transformations!
So talk to Him today and listen to hear what He has to say about transforming YOU.
Today, January 2, 2023, is an excellent day to begin.
The feasting of peas, collards, cornbread, and your favorite protein can now take a backseat and we can start a FEAST of GOD’s Word.
Allow me to share an early morning thought and I will sign off for this time.
It is my intent to explore and learn, spiritually speaking, the concept of NOURISH this year.
This I know this morning.
I must take the initiative to NOURISH.
Holy Spirit is not going to force-feed me.
I must come to the Table, pick up my fork, and eat.
We have a call — Come to the Table and Dine. Come be Nourished. 
Whatever WORD you are focused on this year; He has given all of us an invitation to come and dine.
Are you coming?
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
21 The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. source
For sure. For sure — if we want to sit around the Throne with Him, we MUST come and sit at the TABLE with Him NOW.
