Today is Saturday, August 4, 2012. Still hot and humid but a possibility of some rain today. I'm finally HIV again, Thank God.
Pete's stats for today: 12 minutes of yoga breathing and stretching; 10 minutes on exercise ball; 39 minutes of walking = 2.0 miles for an August total of 8.9 miles; weight is 162.2 pounds.
My goodies today from the book of Leviticus are about menstration and sexual intercourse. I want all the ladies (and men) reading this to pay special attention because these rules from the Bible could change your life bigtime. These rules were written by Moses around 1400 BC to 1200 BC so they must relevant to life in 2012.
17:19-24, 29-30 (NOTE: 1. "defile" means to make filthy or dirty, pollute 2. to make ceremonially unclean). Whenever a woman menstrates, she shall be in a state of ceremonial defilement for 7 days afterwards, and during that time anyone touching her shall be defiled until evening. Anything she lies on or sits on during that time shall be defiled. Anyone touching her bed or anything she sits upon shall wash his clothes and bathe himself and be ceremonially defiled until evening. A man having sexual intercourse with her during this time is ceremonially defiled for 7 days, and every bed he lies upon shall be defiled. On the 8th day the woman is to bring 2 turtledoves and 2 young pigeons to the priest to offer them as a sin offering and a burnt offering, to make atonement for her before the Lord, for her menstrual defilement. (My quesion is how the hell do you catch these turtledoves and pigeons?)
16:18. After sexual intercourse, the woman as well as the man must bathe, they are ceremonially defiled until the next evening. (I disagree with Moses on this one - my own personal opinion is to bathe before you do it. What if you've been working all day in the fields or herding sheep or fishing and are all sweaty and stinky? I wonder how many right-wingers know about this rule.)
