&#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;Uh-uh.&#8221;
&#8220;Not now&#8230;maybe later.&#8221;
So that post&#8230;if it is supposed to be published will be just that&#8230;maybe later.

I am not reading it chronologically although that was incredible.  I am following the M&#8217; Cheyne&#8217;s  calendar of daily readings.  Last year, I missed being [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=helenw13.wordpress.com&blog=382977&post=720&subd=helenw13&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Last week&#8217;s verse continued to give me such a lift&#8230;in fact, I may forever term it as one of those little verses that could!
As a reminder:

 Last week&#8217;s readings: Leviticus 26-27; Numbers 1-10
What lingers with me this week:

		<description><![CDATA[Selah is a word or term that is used in the psalms and also in two verses in Habakkuk.  This term has unknown meaning but has been thought to possibly convey the following:

a pause either for silence or musical interlude
a signal for the congregation to sing, recite or fall prostrate on the ground
