While reviewing my syllabus, I overhead a young female speaking to another student about the Bible. I pretended to read my syllabus when all the while my ears were attentive to their conversation. As I listened, to my surprise, amazement and curiousity, the answers to the above questions came to light. My heart was pounding as the young lady eagerly turned the pages of the Bible and wholeheartedly read the verses.
As we spoke, as the Bible verses came to life, questions flooded my thoughts? We were angels in Heaven before? We were with GOD Almighty? We rejoiced day after day? There is a female image of GOD in the Bible? In the book of Genesis? Admittingly, I have tried to read the whole Bible, but I could never get thru the first couple of pages. How can anyone understand any book without actually having the Author tell his/her audience what he/she meant? Inevitably, her invitation to study more was not an option but Priority #1. I will blog again once I get my first full study....... Stay tuned.......
