Satur-deja Vu

Posted on by

What I like to do for the Satur-deja Vu is share human interest stories, things from my real life, a fun did you know kind of entry, and yes, mention a news headline or two. It’s a week in review because we are not all watching and listening to the same things. There is no way you missed this week’s ongoing… and going and going… election results. So the meme above is timely, topical and hopefully caused you to crack a smile. This election cycle is just so 2020 we shouldn’t have expected anything else. But all the news isn’t bad…

In addition to Reformation Day, October 31st is also Halloween. If you’re into Halloween as a fun thing kids do and nothing more, Happy Monday was full of images, cartoons and puns like the one above. The Hebrews 11 Bible Study was pretty good this week, imho, and iMonk Radio was published on Thursday per the usual.

Here’s some other stuff that happened this week:

The Peter Matthews podcast Michael mentions was once hosted by Podbean but is no longer available. You can visit the Guitar Priest blog but there hasn’t been a new post since October of 2008. 

Michael Spencer turns 52 and comments on being over halfway done with this earthly journey. 😦

Talks end of baseball season. 

Feedback from a post titled “How Do I Love the Church?” The discussion of this podcast focuses on why the church has been silent on sexual abuse, specifically spousal abuse. 

Bible Study: Hebrews 11

Read Hebrews 11

The first verse of Hebrews 11 is one I memorized many years ago in the King James Version. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The substance of things hoped for; the KJV was written to be read out loud and it’s poetic language, combined with rhythm and cadence, is the reason it is so often read today in public ceremonies and gatherings. In my case it’s what I grew up with so with many important passages of scriptures those are the words I know by heart.

Bible Study: Hebrews 10

Read Hebrews 10.

Listen to this Bible Study:

The law is described as a shadow of things to come just as the setup and design of the tabernacle was patterned after the real holy places in which God dwells. The sacrifice must continually be offered and can never make those who draw near perfect. The very fact the offerings were repeated served as a reminder of sin because, as in Heb. 9, the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sin. Treating a condition is not the same as a cure.

Hunger Walk goes virtual. A lot of things have been different this year if they were not cancelled altogether. Movie theaters and airlines are suffering greatly. Because of the economic impact of Covid-19 the need for food assistance is greater than in years past so we decided cancelling our annual fundraising event would not be the right thing to do. I posted a big group picture of everyone that showed up last year but many churches and individuals made donations without taking part in the actual walk. So this year anyone that wants to walk can take a walk anywhere they would like and share a pic on social media. Donations can be made online and we will have an in-person drop site. I’m not asking my readers to support this local cause; if you live in Calhoun or Gordon County you’ve probably seen or heard or ads. There is likely a similar need in your community and there are ways to reach out even if it’s not the way you’ve always done it.
