It seemed that to each tribe much was given but it still required effort to achieve ownership. The tribe of Dan was inhabitated by the Amorites and they forced the people of Dan to live in the hills rather than in the low places. According to the commentary: Dan’s tribe could not even live in their area with the Canaanites. In chapter 18, the writer tells us that many people from Dan’s tribe went to live somewhere else. They went to live in the north. The cities where the Amorites lived (in verses 35‑36) were between Joseph’s sons’ tribes and Judah’s tribe. Judah’s tribe was in the south.
Getting back was pretty easy and the ride and the hotel stay was enjoyable. The main thing of angst was that I found out that I left my laptop at the condo and it won't be for a while until I get it back. So now I am relegated to use my old one and with all of its limitations and lousy graphics. Still bad breath is better than no breath at all. Daniel said that he would swing by FL to pick up the lappy before he heads home to NJ around Christmas. The Monday was ok since I had a dental appointment (which went well) and paying all of the bills (ugh!) as well as seeing Daniel before Christmas. David treated for dinner at a sushi place which was a welcomed surprise. Ride down was uneventful and yesterday was a day to stuff five pounds into a one pound bag - overall got a lot of stuff done and more to do. Found out that I have to take my remaining days off or lose them so now I have to get that planned out as well. Finally caught up on my shows (at least some of them) and started my Proverbs chapter a day to keep the stupid away (thanks, AC!).
Praise for today: No one whose hope is you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse. Psalm 25: 3
