I want to get back to learning how to work with metal this weekend. I am planning to work with the mill and make some burr puzzles. Wish me luck especially cutting the metal to size with a hack saw! 11:29:31 AM

"Similarly said the Holy One, blessed be He, "If I create the world only with the attribute of mercy, sins will multiply beyond all bounds; if I create it only with the attribute of justice, how can the world last? Behold, I will create it with both attributes; would that it might endure!"" (Gen. R. XII. 15)." from Abraham Cohen's Everyman's Talmud 6:44:27 AM

"The incidents recorded in the Bible to the discerning eye are episodes of one great drama: the quest of God for man; His search for man, and man's flight from Him." Abraham Joshua Heschel from "God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism" 6:41:56 AM

"Where the will to be honest is lacking, discussion is wholly pointless." Walter Kaufmann from "The Faith of a Heretic" 6:39:41 AM
