Maybe its because “The Hobbit” trailer is awesome. Maybe because of that, my wife and I read “The Hobbit” out loud to each other. And maybe we are reading “The Fellowship of The Ring” out loud to each other. And maybe we watched half of that movie last night. And maybe my friends and I … Continue reading

A baffling genealogy of Esau’s descendants. Seriously, the people who wrote this down could have benefited immensely from a little spreadsheet training. First Things First Back in chapter 26 we learned that Esau married two women named Judith and Basemath. They were both Hittites.

And to commemorate the journey thus far I would like to share a haiku for our beloved Abraham who passed away at the ripe old age of 175. … Continue reading
