• Job’s Lament

    Job’s Lament

    Just a verse that I spent some time pondering today: Those who withhold kindness from a friend        forsake the fear of the Almighty. Job 6:14 NRSVUE What’s the relationship between kindness and the fear of the Almighty? The “Almighty” carries with it the meaning of absolute power to destroy. Is this how Job felt about his…

    Poggin: Supabase and Vue3

    I think I’ve settled on Supabase and Vue3 for poggin… still scaffolding it out but from what I have, I think it will work out.
