brachot 7

God's anger lasts the moment when the rooster's crest turns from red to white and it stands on one leg, (leaving demon-like footprints around the bed...)

but can God be calmed and restrained with knotted reminders of mercy and human's prayers?

or do the wicked deserve to experience the anger? what about when it hits the righteous?

brachot 6

we are surrounded by demons, but where is God?

look in God's tefillin and see that God values people. After all, demons only attack when alone (brachot 3), there's safety in numbers. God can be experienced when with other people.

so, run RUN to find others, and fix a time and place to pray.









(but what if when with others, you are not part of the group.... you know.... what if you are a woman...?)
