I guess it looks like I'm not really trying to be a blogger. It's about time I got back on the task.
As for my most recent post about Elijah, I accept the comments saying I'm overstating my case. If I have implied some limits on the grace available to Elijah or the rest of us, I should not have done that. God's grace, freely given, is a boundless wellspring. My point is that in my previous readings of this story, I have assumed a narration sympathetic to Elijah. However, as I reconsidered the text, I was inclined to reject that previous reading. The story lacks praise for Elijah's actions. If that is wrong, show me where I should read the narration as claiming his acts are praiseworthy.
