Episode 11: Coffee with Dave
Manage episode 341747319 series 3378022
My friend Dave asked a great question when we were having coffee, an Italian tradition. In Italian, an almond is called a mandorla. Much more than a food or a shape, it's an idea, a posture, a position we need to learn as we find our TOV.
A couple new things...
- Find Your Tov: a SKETCHbook is on sale (regular $32.99) for $22 on Amazon through the end of September 2022.
- Footsteps of Jesus (May 13-26, 2023) - Join Henry Graf & Matt Switzer for a 14 day pilgrimage following the footsteps of Jesus.
Bible Stuff I mentioned...
- "How much better to get wisdom than gold?" is Proverbs 16:16
- The wedding verse was Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
- To see the Hebrew words, (even if you don't know Hebrew) Blue Letter Bible is really helpful. Just click on the verse (Pro 16:16 or Ecc 4:9) then the "Strongs Number" (TOV is H2896)
- The original mandorla (Aaron's Rod) was Numbers 17:1-8 the bud, blossom fruit theme is continued in the Menora (candle holder) described in Exodus 25:31-36.
- "Iron sharpens iron" is Proverbs 27:17.
You can listen to German Flag by Jonathan Rundman (the line I quote is at 1:39)
