/lot of details here. Ill insert a link to an mp3 of the study. /

Tips:

Don't do:
Don't pull verses out at random.
Don't read verses out of context.
Don't start at Genesis.
In opinion, start at a Gospel and Acts of the Apostles.
If you want to start a prophetic book, read Jeremiah.
Don't let Chapters fool you, because a thought may flow from chapter to chapter.
Don't use Bibles with headings for chapters. They are merely there for copyrightability of the text.

To Do:
Pray before you read
Read whole books at a time. Read letters in whole once, without understanding most, then go and reread.
Don't try to look for hidden meanings.
Look for the plain sense of the text.
New King James version is good translation.
Good concordance. Can help teach meanings of words.
Good interlinear Bible, with Greek and Hebrew texts side by side.
Vines Expositary Dictionary of Biblical Words.

Word studies
Psalm 103.
Forgive - rooted in Hebrew word, which means the shedding If of blood.

Hebrew 53:4
Grief - sickness. He, Jesus, carries our sickness.

When man and female come together the union is part of the image of God... As the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one. How do you become one... Let's consider how we became one spirit with the Lord...we had to die. Die to self. It is similar with our spouse...we have to die to self. Often times we focus on being right...but we should focus on being right with our spouse.  The key to a successful Christian life? You must die to yourself. The key to a successful marriage? Yo...

Aliza's good morning

I woke up 10 minutes before Aliza. Ihave was in the living room when I heard her wake up,  get down from the bed, and walk towards the door. She attempted to turn the knob but couldn't.

(The plaque was gifted to us the day before by a friend who is skilled in wood work)
