Togetherness

Psalm 133  Eugene Peterson "The Message" Bible Paraphrase 

 1-3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
    when brothers and sisters get along!
It’s like costly anointing oil
    flowing down head and beard,
Flowing down Aaron’s beard,
    flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.
It’s like the dew on Mount Hermon
    flowing down the slopes of Zion.
Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing,
    ordains eternal life.

I am with my sons and it is a wonderful time together.  Families should stick together through thick and thin.  The family is God's smallest economic unit, and the basis of all larger society.  Without families society falls apart. Think of Plato's Republic, book 5, where he advocates the eradication of the nuclear family.   

When young men are raised in intimate, steady contact with their brothers and sisters, they are emotionally healthy and far less likely to sin in lusting after strange women.   

Sincerely, Nathaniel

 “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Genesis 2:18  KJV
