Bible Passage:  Genesis 10 After the exciting events over the last few days in the family of Noah, we come to this passage of the Bible which we have a tendency to skip over quickly.  I mean… what is it with all these names?  I hardly recognize anyone of them.  What can I possibly learn [...]

Bible Passage:  Genesis 8 After two chapters and a period of over 1 year, Noah and family (and animals) are finally out of the ark! Clean scrubbed new place If you think that the scene of the animals going into the ark two by two is magnificent and amazing, think about the scene when they [...]
