Abimelech to his wrath to Thebez and chased the residents up a tower where they climbed a roof to escape death. Thebez was a city who fought against Abimlech and he was swift to exact his judgement. He tried to destroy the tower the same way he did at Shechem. However, God let a woman exact her form of judgement. She dropped a rock which struck the skull of Abimelech and hurt him badly. The rock according to the commentary was about 2 inches thick and 18 inches long. A young man carrying Abimelech's weapons were nearby and was instructed to finish him off so that the ignominy of a woman doing the deed would not finish the task. He would die in this manner but God would use his means to extract his judgment.
A decent but modestly productive weekend. Friday went to see the specialist and he was modestly pleased with the current bloodwork and doppler but still will be going for an MRI on 2/18 to see what the status is of the right kidney mass. Still recovering from this recent bout of congestion, coughing and also allowing my arm to heal. The missing glove came up and was actually at home the whole time. Had a great family worship despite some people missing it due to being under the weather. Also had a great meal on Saturday with my in-laws and had a Korean style bbque at home. Booked our 3rd annual trip to the Borgata in early April to celebrate the boys birthday and hopefully GG can make it. Nice that the rooms are free so that will make the celebration go easier. Sunday was good since we had a good service and found out that my cousin's son is getting married in the fall. Huge luncheon as part of our CNY with my side of the family was so big that I skipped eating dinner last night despite it being SB Sunday. No biggie since I was down here last night. Saw the SB and it was entertaining and pretty exciting and the team I wanted won.
Will skip the gym for a few more days until my congestion gets better. Much prayers for my mom who is recovering from pneumonia and GG who will be looking to switch jobs.
Praise for today: I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on our lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Psalm 34: 1-2
