Hello friends! Welcome to my blog. I can't promise it will be interesting, nor can I promise I'll keep up on it, but I'll do the best I can. I want to mostly talk about the Bible. I have read through it two or three times, but it was mostly just to say I've read all of it. Well how boring. I want to get into the Bible, not just read the words so this time I'm taking my time and reading bits at a time knowing there is more for me to find inside. I'm going directly through it so I am in Genesis right now. Interesting thing to think about, when God was making the earth He had to grow the plants quickly so Adam and Eve could eat. Can you imagine the excited little kid smile on God's face while he watched the plants grow. Genesis 1:12 says, "The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds." And Genesis 2:9a says, "And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food." I love that thought. Just to watch the vegetation grow in, what, a few seconds maybe?
In Genesis 2:21 it talks about how God created Eve from Adam's rib instead of the dust like everything else. Why would God do that? Maybe it was to make a closer connection. One of my absolutely favorite quotes goes like this: "Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him." by Matthew Henry. It's the one I thought of when I read this part of Scripture. I will leave you with that and come back another day to give you my thoughts about something else.
