The following are rough notes from a Twitter discussion I had on the translation and meaning of Ezekiel 20:25-26.

These are my tweets…

Did you know? GTR2 supports 180hz+ FFB
Due to GTR2’s FFB loop being tied to the refresh rate, the sky is the limit when it come to GTR2’s FFB update rate. *mindblown* Treat yourself right now: Download the 2005 FiaGT Mod, download my PLR with FFB tuned to the mod (put the “FFB …” lines into your own PLR file), and feel…
The GTR2 Mod Bounty Program
Update 2022-10-07: This was a long-abandoned idea I had to crowd-source GTR2 mods but after feedback and thinking it over it doesn’t really feel compatible with the spirit of modding. The GTR2 Mod Bounty Program is fan crowd-sourcing to improve our favourite game, GTR2. The idea is to pledge money, any amount of your choice,…
Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect – Wait, what?
“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” It’s all too easy to wonder for a brief moment how that could be, and then go about your day, forgetful of the awkward sense of impossibility you felt, until the next time you read or hear that verse. But it’s always there, haunting the back of your mind: God demands perfection! That’s not me! What sacrifice is left for me?
The End is Near: Seeing the Kingdom that is near, here, within, and coming.
The Kingdom of Heaven is more than meets the eye: The Kingdom of Heaven has come near you, it is here, it is within you, and the Kingdom of Heaven is coming.
Those who mourn are blessed: Reading scripture backwards.
A few weeks ago our pastor taught on the Beatitudes, Matthew 5:3-12, and he highlighted something I hadn’t really considered: The verses from 3 to 12 are not simply separate sayings, like little nuggets of wisdom.

Lion of Judah: New verses with chords
I really enjoy this song so I added two verses which I’ve inserted as Verse 2 and 3. You can find the chords at Ultimate-Guitar.com [Note: Linked original version, not mine, as it’s not approved yet.

The Firelight In Your Eyes
In the dark I can see, reflected, weaving and waving, in this blessed early morning moment, the firelight in your eyes. Your lips, full, pained, hurt, whisper out an injured stream, while I memorize your eyes, and the mirrored flame of your soul. And I am struck dumb, feeble words wretch forth, anguished to see…
