I have decided that my other blog will be for updates on my life and general information like that, and this one will be my thoughts that I wish to share with the world, whether it wants to hear them or not. That way people who want to keep up with what I'm doing won't be bored by my opinions and such.
I'm not very good at this:
There should be no poor among you, for in the land YHWH your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey YHWH your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today. For YHWH your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.
If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that YHWH your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs. Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: 'The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near,' so that you do not show ill will toward your needy brother and give him nothing. He may then appeal to YHWH against you, and you will be found guilty of isn. Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this YHWH your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.
