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 40

For NIV reading click here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2040&version=NIV

Joseph is in prison unfairly, but the refrain of his life continues ('and the Lord was with him'). So, Joseph lived, did his best, trusted and waited and stayed faithful, all which can be difficult even in good circumstances.

The motiff of dreams continues, which has played and will continue to play an important role.

Most of all, God is actively there in the cell with Joseph, and over the course of his life, this will make what seems despairing and hopeless becomes a divine process of salvation.

    Nehemiah also was a sad cupbearer . Worked out OK for him too .
