Genesis...

Blogging is a funny thing.  It’s so strange to think that when I first began blogging it was because that was the only way to keep up with those that didn’t see you often.  Facebook was still a university-only site and people didn’t even text! (As I type this I realize that one day my children will read this sentence and then ask me if cars had been invented when I was young.)

So, in recent years it’s been hard to find direction to blog.  I’m re-reading the Bible this year and find myself with so many thoughts that I’d like to write down.  Even if nobody else cares to read them!  So I’ve decided to continue blogging about that journey. 

So… we start in Genesis…

My main thought while reading in Genesis is how little has changed in the last 5,000 years.  Men slept with women other than their wives (which didn’t go well even then), brothers fought, murder was prevalent, and we always seem to want what someone else has. 

And, right away, God has to save us.  No sooner had God created a perfect universe then we immediately had a “better idea” of how to do things.  He could have destroyed us.  He could have left us to our own devices and abandoned us. But He had a plan.  There would be no abandonment.  And since God never changes there will never be abandonment.  Never.
