This is part of a fun Blog Party that Lorna
is holding over at her site. The project is to use these specific 15
words and put them into a story format. Try your hand at it and check
the others out over yonder. Here’s my submission.

Uplook Fridays:Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther
The Medo-Persian Empire rose out of the ashes of the
Babylonian Empire in 536 BC, at which time Cyrus (chart #3) offered the Jews
their liberty ({{Ezra 1:2-4}}). This was directly the result of Daniel’s prayer
(#2) for the restoration of Judah
when he discovered, in what we call {{Jeremiah 29:10}} (#1), that the captivity was
just about complete.

Welcome to the Jedi Holocron. Our system will soon be projecting
text-based information onto your screen regarding a Christian
Carnival.. In our studies of other cultures we are featuring a
Christian so-called Carnival. A series of posts collected from sundry
Christian Web-logs (BLOG). The categories have been organized per Jedi
Master and teaching sub-set. It is our hope that you can further your
studies with the information contained therein. Thank you and have a
nice day.
Wow, I’m in a bad mood. Stayed up till 2:10 AM before I
succumbed to sleep only to be awakened at 2:35 by my wife asking if I
was going to go up to bed. I would normally have had my daughter
down in the crib by 12:30 to 1:20 or so, but we’re at my in-laws and
the bedroom is up about two flights of stairs. The girl wakes up at the
slightest sense of transference from human arms so by 2:00 she was
still fussy. Be that as it may, she finally did go into the crib, but
then the next hours were loaded with fitful sleep as my wife spent the
rest of the night leaving the room dry heaving.

Uplook Fridays:2 Chronicles
From the joyful worship that accompanied the dedication of Solomon’s temple to
the disastrous division of the tribes that resulted from Rehoboam’s foolish
pride; from the establishment of the unified dynasty of David’s son to the
depths of immorality that accompanied the reigns of most kings from Rehoboam to
Zedekiah; from the awe-inspiring revelation of the God of glory to the absolute
destruction of Solomon’s glorious temple by Nebuchadnezzar — 2 Chronicles is the
objective, unflinching record of a people who forsook obedience to the Lord and
fell from the golden days of Solomon’s rule to the bitter ashes of captivity in
Babylon, and this in less than 400 years.
