C1 D17 - food coop

Today is our first time to try out the food coop. We signed up about a month ago, ordered some food at the beginning of august, and are set to pick it up.

I finished reading through genesis 22. I missed some days if reading when I was in the boundary waters camping last week. I am back at it again.

C1 D9 - life beyond death.

Genius 18-19. Sodom and Gomorah were depraved and wicked. The angel of the lord destroyed the cities because of this. By the request of Abraham, god spared Lot and his family. My heart is wicked from birth, but Christ pleaded my case just like Abraham pleaded for the righteous people left in Sodom and Gomorah.

My body will be destroyed at death, but my soul will live on just like the rescue of Lot. I scream and claw my way back to live on the earth I know best. Some day I will die. What happens then? There has to be a reason we are here beyond us crawling up out of the evolutionary primordial soup.

Some people look at this story and can't see past the judgement of God or the visual idea of help. When I read this i see the power of love and the hope we have I Jesus Christ. Abraham did not have to pray for the righteous in the city. The Lord did not have to spare the lives of Lot. He also does not have to spare our live, and yet he has made a promised that he will. Read john 3:16 or Romans 6:23.

C1 D 8 - travel day

I traveled up to Minnesota to see my ma and pa. On the way up, I stopped to see a papillion puppy. The puppies are 4 weeks old. Here is. A picture of one of the pictures.

C1 D7 - Trust

What does it mean to trust God? How can we trust something we can not talk with on a daily basis or walk beside? I have trouble trusting people and I see them every day. Perhaps this is because people let me down. They say one thing and do another. What is it really like to find someone you can really trust?. God promised Abraham a son. Abraham trusted god, but thought he had to help God along. He had a son through another woman, Haggai. God was patient and reassured Abraham that the son would be through Sarah, his wife. She was almost 100 years old at this time.

God keep his word and Sarah did have a son a year latter. Praise the Lord. Trust is such a strange thing. Trust God at his word.

Genius 16-17

C1 D6 Righteousness

Genius 13-15. When Abraham believed what the lord hold him, it was credited as righteousness. Righteousness is right with God. God tells us what he will do on the Bible. Do we believe this? Just like Abraham, if we believe, we to will have righteousness with God. Very cool.

C1 D5 - towers

As a man I look at all of the great things I have accomplished. In my company we brag about how much our shares have him up or how many new contracts we have won. These things are the towers of pride that we assemble to puff our show and to demonstrate how great we qt to this around us. We forget one thing that the tower of babel story reminds us of. God is great. He deserves the glory and not us. Praise be to God.

I finished genius 10-12.

C1 d3 - rainbow

Rainbows often come at the end of a storm. We justhad storm at our.house with 90 mph winds. Many of our trees were knocked down over our driveway. This is a small thing compared to he flood that covered the whole earth in the time of Noah. God sent the rainbow to as part of a promised that he would not flood the earth again because of man's wickedness. Why does God care about sinful selfish little old me, ... Or us in general. Praise be to God. I finished genius 8 and 9.

C1 D2 - apple a day

Laurie started her challenge of eating an apple a day. I finished genisus 3-7. I am amazed at how long the people in genisus lived. 900 years or so.
