Authority Issues...
So... Dreamworks lied to me. Imagine my surprise when I started reading Exodus and half of the entire The Prince of Egyptmovie was only the first two chapters. Okay, so thinking on it now, of course…

Ah, so I've (finally) reached the end of Genesis. Believe me, it wasn't supposed to take me this long; "the Lord ain't through with me yet." It was a very sad chapter with two different deaths, Israel…

Who Needs Friends? Pt. 4?
First of all, I didn't even know/remember that Job had a fourth friend who was listening in. When I saw the name Elihu, I was like, "Who? What is this?" Because, unlike Job's other friends, he was never…

They say that good things come in twos: peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, a good book and a roaring fire. Genesis 40 and Genesis 41. You see, most people (especially the ones who try to get…

All of God's Creation: The Soap Opera (Arc I)

It's For Your Own Good
Okay. So chapter 27 sounds like a very controversial chapter to me. While I was reading it, all I could think of was what conniving people Jacob and Rebekah were. They stole things from Esau not once,…

The Worst Friends Ever. In Life.
As you can see, I had a lot of catching up to do with my Job readings. But once I did, I found a recurring theme: Job has got to have the worst friends imaginable. Ever. In life. I mean, really, are your…

God Loves A Complicated Order
I've learned (or truly realized) two things while reading Genesis 24: 1) there is truly nothing impossible for God, and 2) God loves specificity. Think about it- If you know exactly what you want, God…

First things first, I have to stand and applaud my main man, Job. Is it weird that while I was reading these two chapters, in my head I heard Job's voice as if he was a man telling his friends off, rolling…

Who Needs Friends? Pt. 3
Batter up, Zophar. It's your turn. This man had the nerve to discredit EVERYTHING about Job. He was like, "Man, you know you did it. Are you trying to call God a liar? If you didn't do anything, God wouldn't…

"Daddy? Can I have..."

Oh Bildad... In our second friend, we find one who claims to be on his side, but we know he really isn't. He just thinks that there is someone who needs to be blamed, and it can't be God. If only he knew…
