11 ... It is the passover of the LORD. 12For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. 13The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance.

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.

He drew a circle that shut me out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle that took him in.

Laura took this picture here in Evergreen on Tuesday.
In the evening, the bear finally came down from the tree
next to her house and ambled off.

Once the game is over,
the king and the pawn go back into the same box.

15"If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. 16But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
