 Exodus 18

Moses listened to advice from his elder and surrounded himself with Godly people.

Psalm 95

Don't harden your heart.  Do as the Lord tells you.

Proverbs 9

Knowledge of God results in good judgement.

Good judgement results in wisdom.

Wisdom results in multiplication of your days

Ephesians 1

God will bring all things together under Christ's authority.


I won't lie, I feel like crap today.  I was sick all day yesterday, I didn't sleep well last night. Went to sleep with a headache and woke up with a headache.  My stomach still feels terrible.  I'm not complaining, but I am explaining why it feels like today I just went through the motions of reading my Bible.   

But now that I am putting all my thoughts down here, I see a theme in todays reading. I probably say it too much, but I'll say it again.  I am always amazed by how God puts various verses together to teach us a lesson, or how they all fit.  

Moses surrounded himself with Godly people (Exodus 18), he didn't harden his heart (Psalm 95), his knowledge of God resulted in good judgement.  

At Sunday School, we are going to be studying Ephesians for the next few weeks, so I'm adding Ephesians to my daily reading.  I will be reading a chapter every day, fro a week straight.  I look forward to seeing what God has to show us in the reading of this.  Our theme will be a Heavenly Viewpoint in a a Hellacious World.  

Today's lesson, God will bring all things together under Christ's authority.  I know I do, but I get so caught up in the batter, I forget the war is already won.  Christ will rule everything one day.  I need to keep that in top of my mind, so I don't get so discouraged on a daily basis.

When Nightmares Come (Osprey Bluebook series)

Last week I picked up a copy of When Nightmares Come by Patrick Todoroff.  It is a game of modern supernatural investigation.   Think Ghostbusters, Stranger Things, Scooby Doo.  The concept seems fun, and the rules seem pretty simple.    There are three character types, a warrior, a wizard, and a tinker/mechanic.  It uses a dice pool mechanic consisting on d6, d8 and d10.  Everything works off a success of 4+, and you can use the dice as you see fit to make sure your actions succeed.  There were a few errors here and there,  my favorite being 288mm scale.  I am of course now tempted to print a figure at that scale.  Maybe I can use some busts.  Anyways, this is a common complaint about the Blue Book series, the minor typos here and there.  They don't bother me too much.   I think the rules look fun, I think the game will play well.  I am excited to print and paint some new models as always.  I am a...

Mythic Earth (formerly Mythic Americas)

Crossposted on Splendor of Fire  I was watching the Joy of Wargaming YouTube channel as I am wont to do. It is a great channel, and Mr. Wargaming is a really swell guy. For some reason he was in New Jersey, and found Mythicos Studios. Which is a wargaming store and studio. They produce the game Mythic Earth (formerly known as Mythic Americas, based on the Warlords of Erewhon ruleset from Warlord Games). I just realized how crazy this whole thing sounds. There were/are a lot of moving parts going on here. I saw the game probably during the pandemic, and wanted to get into it, but life got in the way. I am coming to the realization that I need to actually start playing games with my toys, and stop printing and painting so much. Anyways, as always I digress from the point of this article. The rules for Mythic Earth are on the always free model, which I like. You can find various resources for the game here . I spent the weekend reading through the ruleset. I think I really...
