This series was for a small group setting that centered around discussion. These meditations were to prime the pump. The names of the meditations are in Hebrew because I was doing a Hebrew tutorial at the time and was trying to practice. The goal was to break down the notion of a sharp division between we Christians call the Old and New Testaments. The emphasis being that the notion of the relationship between God and Man has actually not changed, at least from God's perspective. Man, if he is to consider God at all, seems to want a religion rather than a relationship. God, on the other hand, is striving for fellowship.
