C'MON ON JOIN IN!!!!

Ok so as most of you know this year i've been reading through the bible in chronilogical order (the best way to do it i think, b/c you see how everything is connected!!!) Well we currently just read about the captivity (where Babylon takes over Judah after being warned over and over to change their ways, and just surrender) anyways, well the COOLEST part to me about all this is there is a remnant of jews left over that the babylonians take as servants and GUESS WHAT???!!! from that small remnant of servents comes JESUS!!! Ya know that covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!! Well he always stands on his word! it's all so fasincating to me!!! I love it!!!!!! and that's why i really wanna invite you to jump in!! OR jump in when we start the NEW testament in October!! Im in a class on wednesday nights and we follow a blog that one of the most awesome ladies in our church does, (she does like a recap everyday of what the reading was, she provided charts, timelines, maps! everything to help it easier to understand what's going on) the blog is readingthebible365in2010.wordpress.com just click on the schedule and decided when you wanna jump, in and like i said we start the New testament in October so it'd be a perfect time to jump in! anyway SOOOO C'Mon and Join in!!   I promise it is life changing and you start seeing God in a whole different way!!
