Out of Context

The Book of Dues

all that remains of Judges

come out to join in the dancing
the LORD said

early the next day
the LORD
was to be put to death

the
daughters
sat
weeping bitterly
why has this happened
why

they counted the fighting
women

four hundred young women
had never slept

the people grieved

the young women
settled

everyone did

The Book of Thru

            all that remains of Ruth

love
gave birth to a son
in
old age

the child
cared for
living
and they named him

no one

except him

will raise
the dead

he was the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father of
the father

The Book of Hag

            all that remains of Haggai

the LORD
looked
and
saw
nothing
but
fear

the Lord
said
I will once more shake
I will shake
I will

careful thought
is
one stone
laid on another

I am going to shake
I will
I will take
I will

the word
is
consecrated meat in the fold of
a dead body

The Book of Same

            all that remains of James

listen
human

misery
is coming

your clothes
corrode
your flesh like fire

do not swear
by
sin
songs
or spring rain

your
cries
are crying out against you

see how
you
fatten
the ears of the Lord

the face of suffering
is standing at the door

The Book of Respite

            all that remains of First Peter

be alert
like a
lion looking for
a kiss

witness
suffering

care

resist

the world is
a flock
of
anxiety
and
faith

you must
never
rest

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
