Psalms 127:3, A quiver full of children
Posted on Friday, March 8, 2013 in Bible Commentary | 2 comments
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
//Many of you know I’m a new granddaddy. Mason Lee Harmon was born just eleven days ago. My first grandkid! I haven’t held him yet, still 1500 miles away, but in this wonderful world of facebook, I’ve been able to share in the joy through lots of pictures.
As adorable as the little tyke is (surely, the most beautiful baby ever!), young mommy and daddy look positively radiant. The cycle of life is something, isn’t it? Today’s verse came to mind. As foreign as the ancient writings of the Bible can sometimes feel, some things will thankfully never change.

The Way It Happened
|
|
| Revelation: A love story gone awry. | The Gospel: A love story set aright. |
What really happened 2,000 years ago? How did a persecuted minority of end-time believers known as Christians, with their dreams of Armageddon and a conquering Messiah named Jesus, evolve into the largest religion in the world? Author Lee Harmon explores the period in which the New Testament was written in his books about John's Gospel and Revelation.

About Me
Hello! I'm an author, historical Jesus scholar, book reviewer, and liberal Christian, which means I appreciate and attempt to exercise the humanitarian teachings of Jesus without getting hung up on supernatural or religious beliefs.
The Bible is a magnificent book that has inspired and spiritually fed generations for thousands of years, and each new century seems to bring a deeper understanding of life’s purpose. This is true of not only Christianity; through the years, our age-old religions have slowly transformed from superstitious rituals into humanitarian philosophies. In short, we are growing up, and I am thrilled to be riding the wave.
I avidly read all thought-provoking religion titles. New authors: I'd love to read and review your book!

I, too can see the change in these new parents–just a picture shows it. All of a sudden the things life brings take on a whole new meaning; things that were once tolerated are now examined in a different light, because they will affect their precious child. That expression on the face of your son, looking down at his own son, says all of that. Beautiful!
