"All over"

I had my first supper/Bible study at my appartment last "Saturday". I must say, it is humbling just to think of how God had brought it all together. It started with me "subbing" at the library, and then chatting with a couple of students on an "off-day" when there was "no class", but we had shown up anyway. We got talking about the Bible, and one woman asked if I had a Bible study. I said, "Good question."

That question got answered, officially, last "Saturn Day" (the 23rd). At least 7 people showed up, and indicated, as far as I can remember, that they would be back in a week! We read Psalm 78, Genesis 1, John 1, and I Peter 1:1. I pointed out that, as we read in the Bible - and as we also find today - the world that then was, was not the world that now is. In other words, Genesis 1 ends with God seeing that, "behold, it was very good." The present world, however, is not all very good.

I remember reading of a deep "coring" that took place at or near the North Pole. They drilled down and pulled up tropical plants! That's right! Tropical plants buried at the North Pole. So, as the Bible says, the world that then was, was not the world that now is. I had to "get help" today, because two students were not cooperating. I wanted to "change gears" and do the regular book, even though today is usually a writing day. They did not take kindly at all to this change of plans. I am just very happy it is all over.

Sincerely,

Daniel
