Last night, I started working towards one of my personal goals for this year -- reading through the Bible. I did it once before when I was in middle school, but this time I am reading for understanding, not just reading for the sake of getting through the Bible. I am reading the Bible in 90 Days (although, honestly, I will be lucky to finish in 90 days), which is basically a Bible with start and stop markers every 12 pages. So, if I can read 12 pages a day for 90 days, I will have made it through. They have workbooks and small group studies, but I am just focusing on getting through the one book first.
So after my first 12 pages, taking me from Genesis 1:1 through Genesis 16:16, here are a few observations for your commenting pleasure:
1. Some say God's "day" is different from our "day" -- that the seven biblical days could have actually been years, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Yet, the Bible says there was a morning and a night and that was a day (Genesis 1:8, 1:13, 1:19).
2. Where did Cain's wife come from?
I have a few more, but when I went to look up Bible references, I noticed someone stole my "work" Bible. Who does that? Who steals a Bible??? Not that I really mind, because the people up here need it a lot more than I do. I will edit later tonight with my other questions/observations.
