Recently there has been an interest in reading the bible from cover to cover. This blog will be an attempt to keep us connected during this endeavor.
The long term goal is to read Genesis through Revelation and to encourage one another along the way by sharing what we have gleaned from God's word. The current short term goal is to have Genesis read by this Wednesday, August 20.
Please let me know if you have been able to read this and please begin to update me/us on your thoughts from the reading :)

Doris Day - Que Sera Sera
We were at a wedding celebration last night. Congratulations Mike and Lisa!
Watching the dance between the newly married couple and then the daddy daughter dance was a bit sentimental. It got me thinking about the phases of life and how we don't see the whole picture (we only see in part). Praying for longevity for my neice and her husband. Also had the opportunity to see another neice, pregnant with her first child. It is intriguing to see life and bits of the future unfold. Samantha and Tyler are told they will have a little girl and they have chosen her name, Paige. It's obvious she's growing within her mother's womb. It's a beautiful thing.
Having been in that enviroment last night I woke up thinking about Doris Day this morning and this song she use to sing.
We don't know wha the future holds for us, though in Jeremiah there is a promise held out to us that says: He knows the plans He has for us, plans of a hope and a future plans to prosper us and not harm us. AND in Romans I am reminded that when life gets difficult I can be assured that; He works all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called to His purpose.

Inspired
I have had the opportunity to read the posting of others. I am blessed by their transparency, vulnerability and creativity. Thank you for that. It inspires me to attempt the same.
I recently have been going through a difficult time. A time of spiritual ackwardness; dry, complacent almost lethargic. It has scared me. I have not had a zest for life and even worse than that have chosen to flee to isolation and shut down. That behavior is so not my personality, but it came to be. I am happy to say it has not come to stay but only come to challenge me. Going through this time I have to continually make the choice to not live in the way of destruction but to put the effort into getting back to the way of life. "The way of life"; God's truth, His promises, His word, all of them the same yesterday today and forever. No matter how I feel, no matter the circumstances around me. I have been reflecting on the spiritual disciplines that were in place when my relationship with God and others was rich. Daily reading His word, quietly sitting in His presence, getting with women who pray for me and encourage me. I am deligently going after the things of God, not only to regain the fervor I once had but to also be more mature and refined in Him.
"I Am Fully Known" has been inspired by 1 Corinthians 13-11-13
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man (woman), I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
