The Good Word

As you may know, I started to read the bible this year along with the ladies over at 365truthblog.blogspot.com. I have to say that it is a struggle. So many phrases and words that are foreign to me. Also, there are just so many names and ages and this guy fathered this guy who fathered this guy who fathered this guy. I almost feel like I am studying! Sheesh. I just try to take it passage by passage. I have found many words of inspiration and even some humor! (Unintentional, I assume.) We'll see how it goes! At lest I have the support of the girls at the blog. I kind of wish that John was doing it with me so we could talk about it.

On a similar but different note: Last night I asked John about this scenario: What happens if you marry someone who you love madly for 20 years and they die? And then you marry someone else who you love madly for another 20 years. Who are you with in heaven? Needless to say I ended up crying after the short discussion. I look at God as more a man with power and thought. John looks at him as a presence in everything and when we die we become apart of the presence in everything. I picture heaven to be a lot like earth. So to imagine Eternity without John just broke my heart into a million pieces. I know that when the time comes, all will be explained. But I had a moment of weakness I guess.
