Week 4

Hey guys! This week we are reading about the life of Moses. I have tried to enter the posts so that you do not have to scroll down and work up. Maybe that we make more sense to my brain.
Let's try and share one blessing that the Lord has revealed to us this week.
Lord, please bless each of us beyond measure this week. Your greatness is beyond our imagination! Amen!
Jenn

Working out the kinks...

Ok so that we don't have a weeks worth of comments and everyone trying to figure out if that comment came from Monday's reading or Tuesday's etc. I am going to post the reading each day and then you can comment under that scripture when you read it. I think it will help us keep our thoughts organized. We can start this tomorrow.



Wednesday's Reading: Genesis 6:5-7:24



Love to see all the comments!!!

On your mark, get set, GO!!!

So Jenn and I are just gonna let this thing evolve and become whatever it shall be...
We will post the reading for each week and a question or two to think about, journal about or post a comment. We would love even a simple post of "I read today". The simple act of checking in on things like this does wonders for our ability to follow through.

Our goal is to read 5 passages in 7 days. Here is this weeks reading. We will post on Sunday night for each weeks readings.

MONDAY
Genesis 1:1-2:25

TUESDAY:
Genesis 3:1-24

WEDNESDAY:
Genesis 6:5-7:24

THURSDAY:
Genesis 8:1-9:17

FRIDAY
Genesis 11:1-9

Questions to consider:
In what ways today have you seen evidence of God in the world around you?
How do you "define" sin. What makes you feel guilty and how do you handle guilt?
How do you handle temptation or situation where you feel surrounded (like Noah) by sin?
When is pride a bad thing? a good thing?
Other insights?

Ok so start reading and commenting along the way.
