Our Story With God, Episode 5: Path to Egypt (Part I)

-
Welcome back for a new week, and now we're ready to start a new month as well!  God made a covenant with Abraham, but it wasn't until the birth of Isaac that he had any tangible proof that God was fulfilling His promises.  One of those guarantees was that his offspring would be oppressed in a foreign land for 400 years.  That turned out to be Egypt.  In this episode we look at how the family grew and see that each generation, while they had many problems, continued to worship God.  The dysfunction among them unfortunately caused division and pain, but at last Joseph brought his entire family to Egypt to save them from famine (forgiving the brothers who had been so cruel to him).  God's story continues to march forward exactly as He said.

Our Story With God, Episode 11: Kings (And One Queen)

-
Decisions, decisions.  We all have them in life.  Solomon ran across an interesting one when he became king: God gave him a chance to ask for something.  What would you want?  By asking for wisdom, Solomon pleaded God and also received wealth and success over his enemies.  But as promising as this beginning was, his end showed that his heart wasn't fully devoted to God.  Each successive ruler had to decide whether God's commands were important, and that single choice determined if his reign was successful or not.  Each king was measured, as we all are, not by the financial or political success they achieved, but by how faithful they were to their Lord.

A third handful of weeks has come and gone, and the upcoming week off should give us plenty of time to reflect on what's worked and how we can improve.  With all that has been going so well, however, this Thanksgiving is going to be an easy one to celebrate in our household. Sunday - Off to church to start off the week, and I was able to throw some candy out to all the kids in our class who brought their own Bibles with them.  It's good to reward good behavior with sugar or chocolate, right?  We got Girly back at church from her weekend at high school retreat and a friend's house, and she promptly got a runny nose.  Ah, kids and their germs, such a lovely combination.  Consequently, it was decided that Sunday night activities (in this case, youth choir) weren't going to be such a good idea, so we saved a few miles of commuting by staying home.  That would turn into something of a theme this week! Monday - Whirly and I didn't end up having the house to ourselves like
