A Boring Life?

Canon S45, f3.2, 1/1000 sec

"Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel. He raised his hands towards heaven and said, 'O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you either in heaven or on earth! You keep your covenant and show loving-kindness to your servants who walk before you wholeheartedly.

"But will God really live among men on earth? If neither heavens nor the highest heavens can contain you, how much less can this House which I have built! yet, listen to the prayer and supplication of your servant, O Yahweh my God; hearken to the cries and pleas which your servant directs to yout his day. Watch over this House of which you have said, 'My name shall rest there.' Hear the prayer of your servant in this place.

"Listen to the supplication of your servant and your people Israel when they pray in this direction; listen from your dwelling place in Heaven an, on listening, forgive."

1 KINGS 8:22-23, 27-30

"Make my life, a foretaste of the life You want for us."
