Having just arrived home from a wonderful NZSO concert where the lovely and vivacious Sa Chen did a fantastic performance of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, I plonked myself down in front of my window on the cyber-world to do a round of my favourite blogs.

And there was Dave Walker’s breaking news of how 2 Chronicles 31:7 is the 30638th most popular verse in the Bible out of the 31101 verses that make up the Bible. From the sublime, full circle to the alternatively-sublime, in the space of an hour is quite a fast trip, but I just felt like giving Dave’s blog an extra plug since I think he is a very nice person.

Here is a photo of Dave’s Cartoon Blog up on my monitor just a minute ago. He is writing here about heaps… because that is what 2 Chronicles 31:7 is all about. If you have your Bible handy and feel inclined to look it up, that is well and good. But if you don’t then just read on because this is what that verse says:

“They began doing this in the third month and finished in the seventh month.”

What it is they were doing was piling things in heaps. Dave gives a further analysis of this verse over on his own blog (do check it out) so I wont go into it here, but suffice to say, this verse is not a particularly well-known or popular one out of the Bible (going on the number of times it is quoted on the Internet) and Dave had an idea… This is what he writes:

“Feel free to post your own devotional thoughts on 2 Chronicles 31:7. It would be great if we could bump it up to the top 5. This would perplex a lot of people, which I'm all in favour of.”

Well, I don’t have any devotional thoughts on that verse at the moment, but that could change anytime later. For the meantime, I will just leave it at that and go search for Schumman’s PC in A minor to download for my iPod. Back in the near future…
