Ok. So maybe this is a bit of a rant, but I just listened to a song by a CCM band that Courtney and I kind of liked on JC TV the other day. I recently scanned the airwaves to see if we picked up any new broadcast HDTV channels. We did. One is TBN. Woo hoo. Another is JC TV. It is like a Christian MTV. Wow, Christians are really with-it. MTV started in, what, 1981?

Well, I am trying out a new way of taking notes. I am writing them as "user notes" in my Accordance Bible Software. This means I can access them easily in the future.

It also means I make notes for a verse rather than a summary for the entire chapter. I am then copying them into my the blogging app. I may hone the format as I go.

Gen 6
The ark was part of the covenant, God's method of relating and saving his people.

Ezra 6
Don't you love the irony sometimes. God takes care of his people in the face of those who oppose them.

This must have been an incredible celebration. To celebrate the Passover in the land had such significance, it must have really felt like salvation to the Jews there and then.

We are reading the second family reading with the kids, and it was a late, and fun, night tonight so we put them to bed without reading. I'll try to catch up on Matt 5 tomorrow. Meanwhile...

Gen 5
With these people's lives being so long, imagine how much they learned. Just think how quickly knowledge and wisdom could grow in a society. There would have been many generations alive at the same time. It is interesting that Methuselah died the same year as the flood.

It was bound to happen sometime. I didn't write a reflection for yesterday, but I did read.

Matt 3
I thought it was interesting that John says,"God could raise up children of Abraham from these stones." John did not know that he was speaking prophetically. God did raise up sons of Abraham from about as unlikely of a place, the Gentiles of the Roman Empire.
