He went back to the place where he had built an altar then called on the name of the Lord. Lot also had livestock, so much so, that the land could not sustain them both,Continue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis 13 and 14”

However, He doesContinue reading “Revelation 2:1-7”

My Bible Blog Genesis 11:10-12:3
Hundreds of years and nine generations passed from Shem (son of Noah) to Abram. In fact, Shem was still alive and kickin’ when Abram was born, and if I did my math correctly, they were actually both alive at the same time for 110 years. Terah came from the line of Shem. He was the father ofContinue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis 11:10-12:3”
My Bible Blog Genesis Chp. 10-11:9
The Generations of the Sons of Noah and The Tower of Babel: The sons of Japheth and their sons settled on the shores of the Black and Caspian Seas. Some Biblical scholars believe this is modern-day Turkey. The sons of Ham and their sons established Babel, Nineveh, Canaan, Sodom and Gomorrah, and others. These places did notContinue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis Chp. 10-11:9”

My Bible Blog Genesis 9:18-29
Genesis 9:18-29 The three sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They were all blessed by God. Ham apparently was the troublemaker, the black sheep of the family. He embarrassed and humiliated his father, and in return, Noah cursed Ham’s son Canaan. Ouch. Noah was found righteous by God, but Noah wasn’t perfect and neither was his son. Continue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis 9:18-29”
Happy Mother’s Day!
Today is a bittersweet day for me. It’s the second Mother’s Day without my mom, but she is in Heaven enjoying freedom and good health, and I feel her with me every day. Sometimes I still feel that finger in my face fussing at me too, and she would be surprised that I do still listen. IContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 8:20-9:17
Genesis 8:20-9:17 The first thing that Noah did when he left the ark was build an altar to the Lord. He took of every clean animal and offered burnt offerings to God.

My Bible Blog Genesis 8:5-19
Genesis 8:5-19 After the great flood, the waters finally receded. While Noah was waiting, he sent out a raven and it flew here and there. Then he sent out a dove, but with no place for it to land, it returned to him. He waited seven days then sent the dove out again. It returned with a freshly pickedContinue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis 8:5-19”
My Bible Blog: Noah’s Ark
Genesis Chp. 7 – 8:4 In chapter six, God told Noah to build the ark, and he did – as crazy as it must have seemed. God found Noah to be righteous and wanted to save him and his family. He was 600 years old when God began to send rain upon the earth with aContinue reading “My Bible Blog: Noah’s Ark”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 6:5-22
In Genesis 6:5-22, God revealed to Noah that He would destroy the earth because it was filled with violence.

Pass it On (Jesus-not the virus)
I’m reading a book today that says it’s my responsibility to tell people about Jesus, so this is what I’m going to do: I’m putting it out there and making it your responsibility to pass it on. We are all in this together, right? On my heart today – fear. Do Christians need to fear? Well, whether we needContinue reading “Pass it On (Jesus-not the virus)”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 5
Genesis Chapter 5 covers the generations from Adam to Noah. I will never forget the time my son called me and asked (without even a “Hi Mom.”), “What happened to m’ man Enoch?” My response: “Huh?” I soon realized he was talking about Enoch in the bible. The bible is very brief about Enoch’s demise. In fact, it’s soContinue reading “My Bible Blog: Genesis 5”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 4:16-26
Genesis 4: 16-26 Cain has killed his brother Abel, and God sends him out to wander the earth. Cain ends up in the land of Nod, which is east of Eden. This verse always seems to stump people. If Adam and Eve were the first people, and they only had two children (sons) and one was alreadyContinue reading “My Bible Blog: Genesis 4:16-26”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 4:9-15
Genesis 4:9-15 Cain has just killed his brother Abel, apparently, over petty jealousy. In verse 9 God questions Cain, and Cain lies to God. Can you imagine lying to God? God asks you a question; you know God knows EVERYTHING, but you still lie to Him? What kinda sense does that make? Reminds me of my teenage years…but I digress. Anyway,Continue reading “My Bible Blog: Genesis 4:9-15”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 4:1-8
