"Prompt:
Psalm 128:1-6
Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

What does it mean to fear the Lord? Should we be afraid of anything else?"

The Hebrew word used here is "יְרֵ֣א" and the best translation of it would be "respects" the Lord. God does not expect nor want man to cower in fear of Him, though we will when we behold His awesomeness. What God wants is for man to respect and obey Him. Cowering in fear and terror does not serve God.

Write about the color red in your Blog entry today."

I really don't know what to say about red. Red is the color I see if I get really angry. My hair was red when I was young. Stop lights are red but some people wait for a particular shade before they stop.

Yes. When I realized that addiction was killing me.
