What this blog is about and what I hope it does...

I hope this will be a simple fun tool for us to grow in our understanding and surrender to God through the Bible as we connect over the web. Reading the Bible is both simple and difficult. What could be easier than opening a book and reading? Yet we've all done that and wondered what sections of the Bible mean? What's with the book of Leviticus? What is Revelation really about? Is the Song of Songs about marital love or is it supposed to be more 'spiritual' than that?

So, my intent is for this blog to be a tool that helps us in our faith. A forum for better understanding. An honest place of sharing that nurtures us as we follow Jesus together.

(There are a few resources I have included under "PAGES" that may be a helpful start, especially to those newer to reading the Bible. It's located just below this and to the right. Also included is a READING OUTLINE. If you miss a day, go on to the next rather than trying to catch up.)

ONE LAST NOTE: you don't have to join or set up an account to share comments. Just click 'comment' at the bottom of a post, click the drop down and click 'anonymous.' Then write your post and if you want sign it with your first name and finish by clicking 'Post comment.' I would love to hear your thoughts.

Genesis 28

NIV reading click here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2027:46-28:22&version=NIV

The reading includes the end of the last chapter - remember chapter and verse divisions were added hundreds of years after the original writing, so they don't always line up as we think they should.

Some more info on Jacob and his marriage...another insight into Esau, and Jacob dreams of a stairway/ladder connecting to heaven with God reaffirming the promises to Abraham's family.

The chapter wraps up with Jacob affirming his vows to God, though it seems with some conditions. These stories are fascinating!

Prayers,
Matt
