If you are a GMAIL user, keep in mind that updates and emails from PSHIR.COM will likely end up in the "Promotions" tab and sometimes even in spam. Unfortunately, the Google server sees them as institutional emails sent to multiple users and tags them as "marketing," sorting them away from your personal mail. This happens with my Gmail account, too. Sorry, I have no sway with Google :) but you can teach it some manners. Let me show you how!

This is where PSHIR.COM emails often end up...

Find an email from PSHIR.COM and uncheck the label "Promotions" manually, then click Apply. This is important because then Gmail will remember your choice.

Mark a desirable email from PSHIR.COM as "important." The "add star" feature helps too... The best way, however, is to add my address to your list of contacts in Gmail. This lets Google know that this is "personal." You can also choose to respond to one of my emails. I hear that helps Google see that this is something "desirable."

Losing God's Shadow

In Numbers, we encounter a story of a report brought back to the Israelite community. Ten investigators of the Land of Promise were pessimistic about conquering Canaan.
