Some background info before going back to 'interview with self-Mode':
"Some of you need to understand the difference between dynasty and legacy...." [RW]
Even in the service I was moderating, I was saying how when he uses certain wording, I need to do my usual thing and research, even if just a quick Google search on what he's talking about. However, just like my biblical languages prof was saying, perhaps it's all a matter of which lexicon you decide to use:
(of course a search result would show up NOW that I just used that word above in this specific post)
Hmm, I think someone must have been also working with the common contexts I myself am familiar with perhaps in these "word choices" for the above quote:
[https://quizlet.com/223035357/ch-3-basics-of-biblical-hebrew-flash-cards/]
To help those without biblical Hebrew background understand, I will use an example from 2 Samuel 3:1 -> בֵּית שָׁאוּל, וּבֵין בֵּית דָּוִד
Hebrew is read from right to left somewhat like other non-European originating languages like ancient Chinese. There are using what is known as a "construct form" of the word for house, which eliminates the use of the word "of" as a possessive adjective we normally use in English. So instead of "house Saul" (בֵּית שָׁאוּל) because the first word of house is given in "construct form" here, it means "house of Saul" and likewise בֵּית דָּוִד means house OF David. In this context, it doesn't just mean that members of the immediate household were in conflict, but rather the descendants and also other extended members of the family and kingdoms established through these two leaders or "kings". Thus, "dynasty" would be the preferred meaning for this particular context. So since I had dropped a DM to the speaker that the last time I heard the song about "(8) Father Abraham had many sons... (8)" was not since my days at Tyndale, perhaps he did also want to indirectly hint to me that it isn't just my direct blood descendants or relatives that are the only thing that matter in life. i.e. my lack of assurance that my biological father did make peace with Jesus prior to his passing.

Apparently, when recently I had reflected on the fact that until very recently I had not finished watching movies like The Rise of Skywalker or The Return of the King, I realized that apparently I had already started on a post with the title "The Return of the K". I did use the wording of that first movie in an entry even before I had a chance to watch the entire film from start to finish and once again in December 2020, I was faced with the same circumstances that at times my mom physically blocked me from "leaving the front door": https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-return-of-k.html
Anyhow, a take away from all of the above is that aside from making this initially as a semi-personal space with more anonymity to my identity initially was that I have dedicated this space to God [https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/search?q=god+cast]. After years of writing ever since I hope the blog accomplish more than just the what would be more geared towards my own healing in my faith journey as has been the focus of most of the recent entries this month, but also that followers of Jesus or otherwise would be encouraged by my life narratives to dig deeper into their relationship with Jesus and others.
SO NOW ONTO PART 3 OF THE SIMULATED INTERVIEW PORTION:
M: Hello again K, we once again sit down to have some conversations surrounding your faith, your psychology and your journey with Christ as a whole. Towards the end of our last session you had began touching upon the topic of stewardship and Covid, do have you any more thoughts on that subject that we can perhaps touch upon to begin this session?
K: Well, I am reminded of David's Psalm 24 (1–2):
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
