Wednesday


Stephen Paddock was protecting his girlfriend by sending her away and didn't want her to try and stop him. The $100,000 he sent to the Philippines was allegedly to build a family home. I guess he knew he would be a victim in the shooting spree. The $100K he sent to the Philippines was allegedly to buy for build a family home.

I've avoided all things Trump for the past few days but it looks like Tillerson is the next to go. He often disagrees with Trump, saying and doing "the right thing" and you know what that will get him.

Sukkot, Feast of Booths and Tabernacles

Sukkot has a double significance. The one mentioned in the Book of Exodus is agricultural in nature - "Feast of Ingathering at the year's end" (Exodus 34:22) - and marks the end of the harvest time and thus of the agricultural year in the Land of Israel. The more elaborate religious significance from the Book of Leviticus is that of commemorating the Exodus and the dependence of the People of Israel on the will of God.
