Jan 3 reading Gen 8,9,10,11:9


Hi Y'all!

Technical difficulties prevented yesterday's entry... but I found a computer at my New Orleans Hotel and now I'm good to go.

We left Noah on the ark with the water beginning to recede. (An interesting corollation to NOLA and Katrina.) God told Noah and his family when it was safe to get off the boat. After they got out the animals left too. The first thing Noah did on dry land was to build an altar to offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord. After God promises not to destroy life on earth again he tells everyone to be fruitful and multiply. The rainbow is a sign of his promise to us. I have a really cool picture of a rainbow over my house, maybe when I get home I'll post it.

The geneology sequences in the Old Testament can be somewhat tedious. I felt this way until I found out that the Bible contains the genealogy of Jesus Christ from the time of Adam. Whenever I read these parts I keep wanting to make a chart of all the names just to see them differently. Maybe I will.
