As noted throughout my posts, besides items that stand out to me during readings and what I may learn through church services, etc., additional information is gathered through reading the Bible (ESV), the ESV Study Bible, and Halley's Bible Handbook.

I've learned so many things from your posts that I would not have known without reading them. Maybe I'll get a copy of Halley's Handbook. :) It's also fun to see what sticks out to you versus what stuck out to me. I think overall, God is saying the same thing to both of us. I am overwhelmed with God's faithfulness to keep His promises. I have really enjoyed dusting off the pages of the Old Testament for the first time in ages. I am discovering so many new things that I didn't know before or had forgotten. I have found that how much I get out of the daily readings is directly proportional to what I put into it. When I "just read" the chapters and don't take the time to read the ESV Study Bible notes or read your blog or read other things online, I don't have as many notes to take in my journal.... meaning, I didn't "get" anything out of it. But when I begin with deep prayer, spend the time, put aside all distractions, and prepare my study area with all the resources available at my house, the difference is significant! It takes discipline and "spiritual muscle" as Bruce Wesley (pastor at CCCC) calls it. However, it is only by the grace of God that we even begin to desire to obey Him. And it is also by His grace that we follow through. Who was your fav character in Genesis? Mine was Joseph. Looking forward to Exodus! I already feel a strong connection to Moses.
