~Weekend Challenge~

Wow, we made it to the weekend. Well, you all made it to the weekend; its my weekend to work!

I have a challenge for you all. I just did it myself and it was pretty easy! If you have a little extra time this weekend, create your profile. It would be a great way to get to know more about each other!

Greatest Story Ever Told

Hello all,

This is Carolyn from Gaston. I have been listening to the Old Testament on CD and love it. I raise Chihuahuas so have lots of "dog chores" which take at least 4 hours per day. I have been listening to the story 2-3 times, while do these chores, and enjoying every minute. We have all heard this story called The Greatest Story Ever Told and now I understand why. The granduer of this world and of this story takes my breath away.

Blessings to all,
CAO

A Map of "Us"!?!

Hi to each of you!

I have been thinking today that I'd like to know where each of you are living? Would you be so kind as to email me at abundantliving.jb@gmail.com and tell me the city and state of where you are living? I will compile the "results" and then do one post on the blog and let everyone know where we all are!

So...I am in Joseph, Oregon. My friend Georgene is in Glendale, AZ, and my friend Debbie is in LA. And of course, I know Margie is in Yamhill, Oregon!

Heading to bed and praying for each of you! Dede

This is good!

Good Morning to all!

I am on track and enjoying reading through the Bible with the Holy Spirit and each of you! It gives me encouragement to know others are joining me and doing the same thing.

I have been getting up EARLY and trying to complete my reading time before everyone else in the house gets up and starts in on the noise and distractions. How about you? When are you doing your reading?

I was struck this morning about Joseph! What training he must have had in his formative years! As a mom of teenagers, I am thinking are my daughters (almost 17...same as Joseph!) are they honorable and capable servants? Praying for them!

I found myself not wanting to stop reading this morning. I didn't care for the break for today, so I read on a bit to be ahead for tomorrow!

Oh, to THIRST for His Word everyday!

Praying for each of you that you may be blessed abundantly, above all that you could ask or think!

Jesus in Genesis? (Click here!)

~~~An interesting article~~~

Day 2 Genesis 17-28:19 (I read through 28)

What a group! Sodom and Gomorrah. Then there's Lot and his lack of faith which leads to a decision to isolate in a cave even after God saved Zoar as a safe city for him. That contributes to his daughters "stinking thinking" and their incestuous acts because they didn't trust God to bring them husbands and children. (Even after he brought them out of Sodom and Gomorrah, how limited we become when we don't look to the Lord!)

Yet there are stories of great blessing with faith. The richness of Abraham when he trusted in the Lord. The birth of Issac! The near death of Issac! The promise of more blessings as Abraham obeys his FATHER and becomes the father of a great nation. Wow!

The story of Isaac and Rebekah sounds like a Disney fairy tale. Complete with love at first sight and the birth of twins. But there is the twist of one twin plotting with his mother against the other...

Can't wait to read more!

Welcome to the Bible Blog!

Its our first day on the trail... Reading the Bible in 90 Days.

Not a small commitment but one that can be done! And how exciting to know that we are working together to meet our God and our Goal.

This is a place to share our thoughts, our prayers, and our blessings as we meet the Challenge. Blogging is new to many of us - including me. Let us not be afraid but instead embrace the opportunity to share freely.

Anything you post here is confidentially shared only with others in our Reading Group. No one else has access to this site.
