The grass-plot before the jail, in Prison Lane, on a
certain summer morning, not less than two centuries ago, was occupied by a
pretty large number of the inhabitants of Boston; all with their eyes intently
fastened on the iron-clamped oaken door. Amongst any other population, or at a
later period in the history of New England, the grim rigidity that petrified the bearded physiognomies of these good people
would have augured some awful business
in hand. It could have betokened
nothing short of the anticipated execution of some noted culprit, on whom the sentence of a
legal tribunal had but confirmed the verdict of public sentiment. But, in that
early severity of the Puritan
character, an inference of this kind could not so indubitably be drawn. It might
be that a sluggish bond-servant, or an undutiful child, whom his parents had given
over to the civil authority, was to be corrected at the whipping-post. It might
be, that an Antinomian, a Quaker, or other heterodox religionist, was to be scourged out of the town, or an idle or
vagrant Indian, whom the white man's fire-water had made riotous about the streets, was to be driven
with stripes into the shadow of the
forest. It might be, too, that a witch, like old Mistress Hibbins, the bitter-tempered widow of the magistrate,
was to die upon the gallows.

I learned a tip yesterday that most certainly will help my students. It is that I should use a wireless mouse in class. Here is what I mean.

I've used slate's and special pointers before with poor performances. With the mouse I can just naturally move things around. Give it a try.

We have used the gyration mice in our school for years and I love mine, but we have had about 4 have the gyro die in them, so the longevity is now what I would like.
Circumcision of the Heart in Leviticus and Deuteronomy: Divine Means for Resolving Curs... - 0 views

These three uses of “uncircumcised” imply that the foreskin is an impediment or obstacle to hearing, speaking, and producing good fruit. That is, the state of being uncircumcised impedes something, which, if it did not have the foreskin, would otherwise be prepared for true function and vitality. But since it has the foreskin, it is impeded

There is a progression in Leviticus from “outward” holiness to “inward” holiness or better, from the holiness symbolized in sacrifice, cult, and purity laws to holiness exhibited in the obedience of a prepared and consecrated people which Leviticus 17-27 envisions.

The foreskin of their heart was the cause of their stubbornness in 24:10-23, which led to God’s curse coming upon them in exile. They became as the “foreskined fruit trees” in Leviticus 19:23 that were unable to yield fruit. Their hearts still had the foreskin, the impediment or obstacle which prevented them from vital covenant faithfulness and ensuing blessing
