OLD TESTAMENT

Started reading The Old Testament. Have to be honest and say this is a tough read. There are parts that really have me paying attention. Then there are parts that make me ask the question, does anyone really remember this? Like when they start talking about the family trees. I can't even get my daughters names right half the time. I got Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Other than that I'm lost.

Now I'm at Exodus. Going along fine. The part about Moses is great. I always loved the movie 10 commandments. Then bang, we're talking about building tabernacles and how many cubits high and long. And how many times each cloth is folded. Luckily there are pictures in my Bible. Now I know why I was told to start with the New Testament.

After reading about the ten commandments I was so happy that I actually new them. Or so I thought. I'm looking at them and start to count them. Wait, theres only 9 of them. Read them again. No, thats 10. So I write them down. Umm theres only 9. I'm not kidding when I say I had a good 15 minutes into this. Here I was lumping together--no other Gods before me and shall not make carved images. I don't think I ever laughed at myself so hard! Oh well I thought it was funny.
GOD BLESS
