Posted here are scriptures that grew my understanding (often counter to the tradition), helped my walk with God, appeared in my art, indicated what to do if others seem wrong, worshipping God inappropriately, priorities... ahhhhh. I will keep working on this, mostly I have come to understand that I should rarely use the word therefore, never make a string of therefores, or cherry pick texts to prove a point in the face of real world evidence (cause the earth is not flat).
