OK, I finished 2nd Chronicles this morning. This chapter describes four evil kings who were descended from Josiah (they kind of undid the progress Josiah had made in returning to proper worship of the Lord). This was until Cyrus (the king of Persia) did build a temple for the Lord as Jeremiah had prophesied.

I’m also rereading a classic finance book – Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money by Dave Ramsey. It was on the NYT Bestseller list & is a very informative read. It’s useful for me as I organize my finances while I’m seeking to transition to a new position.
I also have several flower sprouts. As soon as they are a bit bigger, I will transplant them to the plot in the community garden.
