Jan 3

Ok so I already have slightly failed at my new project. I honestly just read what I was supposed to have read on Jan 1 and 2 this morning. For those of you following along I will post the actual reading toward the bottom of each post.

Maybe I should explain that I have been on Christmas vacation since Dec 23 and I decided while I was off work I would actually clean my house so since Monday of this week that is been what I have been doing. Which it looks great by the way. But on Jan 1 and 2 I along with my family have been trying to empty my Grandmother's house that she has lived in since 1961. So Daniel and I have been rearranging our house to accommodate some of the new furniture we acquired.

But hey the assignment hasn't been a total loss I did get up this morning and read Genesis 1-7 and Matthew 1-3. So that is where I will try to start. I am not planning on using the blog as a platform to preach from that is not my intentions at all. It is mostly for my own benefit but I thought maybe I might say something or I guess type some thought that I have rattling in my head that might help someone else.

I started with reading Genesis and if you have read it you know that obviously it starts out talking about creation. Well as I read along I had several things strike me as Hmm I hadn't noticed that before.

For instance when God is making the Garden of Eden he made TWO trees the Tree of Life AND the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And God told Adam to not eat of the Tree of Knowledge. What about the Tree of Life? What does it do? (Gen 2:9)

Also if you backtrack to Gen 2:8 it states that the Garden was planted in the East, where was God standing when that happened? Yes if you are in the United States we always no where east is but I always think of God being above the earth when he does things so he can kind of have a birds eye view of the land. (One of many questions to ask the Big Guy when I see him face to face)

On ward with the questions. Ok if Adam and Eve where the only people on Earth and then they had Cain and Abel where did their wives come from? (Gen 4)

Ok and the final question that really made me curious enough to check with several translations to make sure I was reading it correctly was who are the "Sons of God" that Gen 6:1-2 is talking about.

So if you have any more questions regarding what I have read so far please feel free to ask or even if you have comments or answers to the questions I posted.

The reading that was discussed for today's post is:
Genesis 1-7
Matthew 1-3
