I was sitting on the roof of my house.

I've really not had much to update lately, but I will say this:

I learned at bible study a few days ago the the whole Bible can basically be summed up in Genesis 5, which is a chapter in the first book of the Bible that names the descendants from Adam, the first man, to Noah. The chapter is dedicated to just this, and seem like it really doesn't serve any purpose besides historical reasons. But it just so happens to be very important indeed. Names have always had meaning, but it was different back in that time, because in those days, your name wasn't just what people called you, it's meaning was what you were supposed to live by, and if the way you lived changed, your name changed. It was who you are.

Going back to Genesis 5, if you take the meaning of every name mentioned in order from Adam to Noah, you will find that it spells out a sentence, which is somewhere along the line of "Man/Appointed/Mortal/Sorrow/The Blessed God/Shall come down/Teaching/His death shall bring/the despairing/rest and or comfort. Each "/" is a break between the meaning of names, meaning that Adam = Man and Noah = Rest, or comfort.

I think this is really interesting, and even though it may seem a little Da Vinci code-ish, I totally believe it's real. Cool, huh?

Just a Filthy Backslider

That's the thought that keeps nagging in the back of my mind lately. I haven't gone to church in a few weeks, and I feel really bad about it. It's not that I don't want to learn about God and the Word, it's that I'm always so busy on the weekends that when I think about waking up early I'm just like ".... no."

I need to go to church, it's how I grow as a christian, since I don't have an official small group yet. The college group that I could have gone to is on sundays at 6, and since I'm almost always scheduled to work sunday evenings, I've got no time to go to it. I don't understand why small group leaders don't like to put small groups on weekdays. I like weekday small groups. It's like getting church twice a week, except it's much more involved. Involved is good. Involved makes you think; makes you question things, and that makes you grow.

So I guess my options are: A) Get up in the morning and go to church, thus being wiped out for my 8-hour work day, B) Go to Gary's high school small group on tuesday, C) both of the previous mentioned, D) None of the previous mentioned or, E) Find a small group on a different day. I like choice E. I still want to get up in the mornings for church, just not when I have to work all day right after.

As much as I enjoy work, it does complicate things.
