For those of you who may not have heard,
About 30 MYPGers have committed to reading through the Bible together at the pace of 10 chapters a day. If you calculate, it should take us about 4 months to finish reading the whole bible. We've had a pretty intense 1st week, reading Genesis 1 - 50. And we know it isn't going to get any smoother!
For those who are on the Bible sprint, how did your first book go? We had some interesting sharings over gmail.
Esther: the first 30 chapters of genesis is FULL OF DECEIT lahhh, it's like son like father, chip of the old block....haha makes me wonder was lying OK back then? considering the 10 commandments only came during to Moses time.
Eunice: What kept popping up at me during the first 10 chapters was the word - life.
Yosh: Out of the ENTIRE human race around in Noah's time, God decided that animals were more worth saving than humans- so corrupted were they- that He had to build such a big ark to put all of those furry little fuzzies in... says alot about how good we humans can be, eh?
Isaac: One of the things that struck me in my readings today is that people are so stubborn and never learn from history.
Abraham lied that Sarah was his sister, Isaac lied that Rebekah was his sister.
Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham to bear him a son, Leah and Rachel gave Zilpah and Bilhah respectively to Jacob. (at least Isaac wasn't stupid enough to get into this)
The amount of family politics is unreal!
Cheng Yee: I think it's real cool that God talks to himself. And that He likes to ejek people also.
Anything else to bring to the table?
Full speed ahead with Exodus! (Trumpets blasting and sails unfurl)

What I learnt from Genesis: Joseph was DA MAN! I was quite surprised when I counted the number of times he cried; about 5 times! he was quite an emotional wreck (the entire court could hear)! But still one of the ALL TIME STARS in the bible. So it's perfectly fine for a leader to be sensitive and be HUMAN. Other than that; Sarah was a really submissive wife and a woman of faith. I imagine her saying to Abraham,"you're letting me go with them, AGAIN? just so YOU can live? hmph..." some husbands these guys were ;)
You have an awesome blog! I'm going to enjoy reading it From computer addict
