I am currently doing a study with some Facebook friends, one chapter at a time, from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. The purpose is to get us into the Word of God on a daily basis, but also to find God and find ourselves in the scriptures. I will be blogging about my journey in… Continue reading genesis to revelation
me and this pandemic
Just typing the title to this thing is surreal. Pandemic? Did not see that coming. But here it is and all of our normal just went away to we don't know where.

genesis 30: comparison
They were sisters. Family. And now, this thing between Leah and Rachel has become almost too hard to watch. And let’s be clear about what it is we are watching.

genesis 29: unloved but loved
Such an intriguing chapter. It's a love story, payback story and kindness of God story all rolled into one. Jacob met the love of his life in Rachel, and paid a steep price to marry her. "Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me,… Continue reading genesis 29: unloved but loved

genesis 28: the ladder
"And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!" That ladder. Connecting heaven with earth. Because sin happened and God no longer walks in the garden with us. That ladder had a… Continue reading genesis 28: the ladder
