1 Samuel 1 -- I read the end here -- verses 20 to 28 but the liturgist had read all of the big (and hard) words earlier. The Youth had sung an anthem that included the words "I believe in God, even when God is silent." We had new members coming in and I cut the sermon a little short. Not a lot. Think I got the "key points." Hannah starts the story of moving from chaos to order (depends on who's definition of order I think). She is the mother of Samuel. But the first two chapters focus on Hannah, not Samuel.

This is from Judges 4. We would in English call the heroine here, Deborah, but I have a friend named Devorah, and I felt that saying her name, in Hebrew, was the right thing. Devorah stands on behalf of being courageous. She is a fiery woman or maybe a woman of lightening or woman of the torch. She stands like a beacon, and deserves to be remembered.
