Ranking in at #18 . . . L'Chaim!

The lucky Jewish number eighteen, which is the gematria number for chai or “life.” Jews often give in multiples of $18 as gifts for major events or for Jewish charities. I take my #18 November ranking for the Biblioblog Top 50 to mean that this blog is clearly chosen by God.

In the United States, my blog has now “come of age” into adulthood. It can now own property, buy its own cigarettes and pornography, vote, serve on a jury, and go to war (or in the case of this blog, register for conscientious objector status). So, in addition to being chosen by God, this blog is now officially ready to engage in citizenship.

By the way, you really should check out Douglas Chaplin’s outstanding carnival. One of the best carnivals I have seen yet. Go and see what you missed in this important biblioblogging month of November.

But it still has to ask it’s big brother to buy it beer.

"The Levites . . . instructed the people in the Torah while the people were standing there. They read from the Book of the Torah of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read." (Neh 8:7-8)

On blogging etiquette, try to remember: "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (Luke 14:11). "Outdo one another in showing honor" (Romans 12:10).
