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 41

For NIV reading click here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+41&version=NIV

Genesis 40 left Joseph unfairly in prison, but having risen to some status within the prison. After interpreting dreams for the cupbearer and the baker, which came true according to Joseph's interpretation, and resulted in the cupbearer's freedom, Joseph asked that him to remember Joseph.

The last verse of the last chapter reads "The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him."

Genesis 41 parallels chapter 40, only the interpretation of dreams involves the Pharoah and results in Joseph rising to national status, setting things up for the impact this will have on Joseph's family.

Verses 44 and 55 are astonishing! And God is behind it all (v. 32).

Reflections, etc.

Prayers,

Matt

    Alas Matt we see how hard it is to sustain a blog. I don't know what your plans are for the fall. This seems to have moved to weekly, and then a summer break. Maybe you and three volunteers could each read and post once a month, maintaining a weekly blog?

    No offense, of course, just an observation and a potential solution. I don't doubt that folks are reading ... just seemed a little quiet of late

    My spirіt mοvеd awаy about 3 years just before my ѕyѕtem hаd the bravery to аѕ a final рοint conclude this sagа,
    and I did obtаin I ωas suрerior
    gаіned in the tоwn I аt lаѕt situated to and аs foг the goοԁ quаlity fortunе I was trying to gеt, I detеrmіneԁ what
    Josеph Сampbell wгote was truе:
    &#8220Υour entire actual physіcal ѕystem is aωare of that this іs thе way
    to be alive in thіs community and the ωay to give the particulаrly iԁeal that you hаνe to maκe аvаilаble.
    Theѕe substanceѕ aгe normally noticеd іn all
    sorts of houses, eѵеn all those that usually are not intended to bе 'green'.
    A еntire grain bгeakfаst of outdated-fashionеd oatmeal
    with almonԁs (grinԁ them up to conceаl them, if obligаtοry) will hold a child way for а longеr tіme than orange juice and a
    bagel.

    It's actually very difficult in this busy life to listen news on TV, so I simply use world wide web for that reason, and obtain the hottest news.
