Every summer there's a big "whale watch festival" in Geneva,NY, the native American's in the region claimed the lake had mystical powers, & in July 1900 there was a newspaper article written about a captain of a steam ship that allegedly caught it, but lost it on his way to shore
@joshuagates@Discovery I was curious if you've heard of the legend of the "Seneca Lake Monster" in Seneca Lake of the Finger Lakes in upstate NY? I've heard stories about it my whole life, my uncle & cousin claim to have seen the back of something massive surface while fishing,

A BEMA Sabbath Reminder

A final Sabbath Reminder of 2024.
May you take time in the midst of New Year's resolutions and plans recognize that “God’s sacred, redemptive work is not something that we can claim or control," so we don't need to try to control it.
Find peace in knowing His work is good—and so are you.
A Sabbath Reminder

May you create space to relish the taste of Sabbath and deep rest this weekend.
@martysolomon is there any chance of doing a series on the @the_BEMA podcast doing a deep dive into the meanings of the different names of God in the Hebrew scriptures?
