I think the deer could see me in the window and he didn't know me and probably has taken a slightly different path for the moment. We will see if he returns. It took him a long time looking at the window before he called the female to join him on their trek but they did not go their usual way up around the house choosing to slip through the woods another way. He did stand there and look for a very very long time actually. The one dog and I watched him but I had to put the younger dog into the mud room as she was barking.
The Bible Reading for today talked about the battles with the Amalekites thought to be descendants of Esau and had a habit of attacking anyone from behind selecting the weakest. One wonders who the descendants of the Amalekites are today. God said to destroy them entirely but He also said if there are people who love God and obey God in a country then that country should survive. Interesting to contemplate in our present situation where you have a country that attacks other countries in devious ways namely Iran and its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. The use of armed terrorist militias by Iran though is reminiscent of the Amalekites as they attacked the weak like the attack on the 7 Oct 2023 against the Musical Concert and the Kibbutzims.
Slow going writing the new chapter on autosomal DNA and the Pencombe family but that is alright I need to feel my way back into my writing as it is a while since I have written in the books for Pencombe and Blake. There is lots to occupy my attention around me but it is clearing my mind for writing once again. Still a lot to do for preparation of the writing to come over the next few months as I have not yet completed my survey of new matches and entering them into my table.
Dogs looking for a pat and must refill the water dish. The days pass quickly. Off to Church in a couple of hours online as always. Tea to make and solitaire puzzles to play.
