2010.04.12 Monday Morning!

Greetings and best wishes for Good Reading from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Vinita, Oklahoma. At last spring has sprung! The town is decked with beautiful colors. Flower beds and flowering bushes and trees make me want to sing "Morning Has Broken" in the shower.

I began with best wishes for GOOD READING. If you are ready to start the second exercise "to know" your Bible, Genesis is the place to begin. It is a book full of marvelous stories. Don't copy the stories verbatim! Instead, identify the stories in your notebook for your own reference. Example: 4 pen sketches of every person: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Ark, Tower of Babel - Genesis 2 - 11:9.

This exercise will keep us busy for a long while, but it will be a worthwhile effort. From time to time, I'll mention the stories I've found, but don't count on that every week. We all have to do our own homework!

This second exercise will make the third one easy: "Biography" - to know characters in the Bible. I'll keep the fourth exercise secret for now.

You'll be teaching the development of Bible ideas before you know it! Count on this!
