EZRA
Ezra recounts some of the history of the return of the two Jewish remnants to Jerusalem.
When Persia replaced Babylon as the world power, King Cyrus, in the first year of his reign, authorized, encouraged, and subsidized the return of almost 50,000 Jews for the purpose of rebuilding the temple and Jerusalem. This was in about 536 B.C.
The work started and made some progress but the people who now populated the surrounding area objected to the extent that work was halted.
Almost 70 years later, Ezra lead, with the blessing of the current king, a much smaller group to Jerusalem to fulfill the earlier expectations. He was much disturbed by the forbidden intermarriage between the Jews and the idolatrous locals. Those who had strayed in this matter agreed to send their wives and children away.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Attended the Republican Roundtable at 7:00…two candidates running for CD 4 spoke…each did well. Later, I performed a few small tasks including finding my favorite birthday card…bought nine of ‘em. Did a bit of paperwork and, of course, never got around to addressing the things I should.

SOME OTHER INVOLVEMENTS
READING. The daily paper, books when moved to do so, Internet commentaries and probably check on the following postings on a daily basis:
http://www.doerbitter.com/
http://sherbitter.livejournal.com/
http://www.hendrickscountygop.com/
WRITING AND PUBLISHING. Contact me at lswift8@aol.com to request information relative to ordering any of my eight books and one CD.
REACHING OUT. I normally contribute modestly in a number of areas. Now I also contribute a portion of book sales income to new or enhanced areas of support. I also accept contributions for this effort. I was so pleased with the 2009 results that I’m expanding the effort in 2010. New or expanded recipients in 2010 include:
January, TCM, Austria, ministry scholarship. http://www.tcmi.org/
February, Hillsdale College. www.hillsdale.edu
March, African ministry. http://www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/
The Book Nook, 33 E. Main, Mooresville is a local source of Linden’s books and CD.
