Thursday morning group... and being out of the desert...

Thursday morning was a struggle this morning.

I didn't get to bed until late last night... almost midnight... which is pretty rough when the alarm goes off at 4:50 am for Bible Study. But despite the tired feeling I had as I brushed my teeth, I continued on. And this morning's study was pretty good. We talked about possessions and how they shouldn't be something that dominates and controls our lives. It was a good talk.

What I'm really excited about this morning that I am finally out of the desert of my morning Bible reading. For the last two months, I've been "wandering in the desert." That's the phrase that I use when I talk about reading through the books of 2nd half of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and most of Deuteronomy. Most days, it's good stuff. But it just doesn't excite me or thrill me to read all the list of laws and tabernacle specifications. But thankfully, this morning, I moved into Joshua. And I was happy!!

  1. As a former OT major, I would have expected you to absolutely LOVE everything about the OT. NO? Say it ain't so?!?!?
