The scooter! Oh yeah! Now how nifty is this little thing? You can fold her up and carry her anywhere. She’s really light. And for those who are a bit more crazy, you can do back flips, 360′s, and wheelies! Or if you’re like me, you can do a front flip – over the bars … Keep reading →

Warning: my following comments are sarcastic and by no means express my real opinion. - “You can never guarantee a 100 per cent safe race. You expose yourself to danger when you race.” Mokhzani Mahathir after Marco Simoncelli died in a crash. Thank you for the newsflash! I mean, we only have...
†. Gen 42:9a . .Then he remembered his dreams about them
When Joseph had those dreams back in chapter 37, he probably had no clue
as to how they would be fulfilled. He was only aware, from his father Jacob's
interpretations, that he would be lord over his whole family, including his
parents...
Shooting stars, they blazed in the night sky, As on the beach, didst two lovers stare into the sky. She the princess and he her handsome prince As they shared a soft moonlit kiss. Princess, beauty rare. To her prince without a flaw Wanting nothing at all. Whispers he, “I love you always.” So...
†. Gen 42:1 . .When Jacob learned that there were rations of grain in
Egypt, he said to his sons; Why do you just keep looking at each
other?
You can just picture what was going on. One brother would turn to another
and ask; What are we going to do for food? And the other would just shrug
and...
†. Gen 41:47-49 . . During the seven years of abundance the land
produced plentifully. Joseph collected all the food produced in those
seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each
city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. Joseph stored
up huge quantities...
†. Gen 41:37-38 . . Joseph's suggestions were well received by
Pharaoh and his advisers. And Pharaoh said to his courtiers: Could
we find another like him, a man in whom is the spirit of the gods?
If there was one thing those old-time pagans valued, it was a connection to
the spirit world, and...
On a bright sunny day, amidst the African brush- Playing in the sand, two tiny lion cubs. Filled with potential, though they be yet small, Furry balls of terror unaware of the dangers about them all. They play, in their little sand pit, preparing for what is ahead. Unaware of it, yet preparing...
Hey Everyone, I am absolutely stoked! This is my 100th post on my blog! Anyways, I was wanting to do something really special for my 100th. The forefront idea was a video (one of my side projects), but time is against me . So I thought that my 100th post would just simply be an … Keep reading →...
†. Gen 41:25b-32 . . Both dreams mean the same thing. God was
telling you what he is about to do. The seven fat cows and the seven
plump heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity. The
seven thin, ugly cows and the seven withered heads of grain
represent seven years of famine. This...
†. Gen 41:15 . . I had a dream last night; Pharaoh told him; and none
of these men can tell me what it means. But I have heard that you
can interpret dreams, and that is why I have summoned you.
Potiphar of course would have been responsible for delivering Joseph, and
probably informed him of...
†. Gen 41:1a . .Two years later
Poor Joseph. He's now at the very threshold of his fourth decade of life and
still hasn't slept with a girl, nor does he even really have a life of his own.
He was under his dad's thumb for seventeen years as a kid, and now he's
been a slave in a foreign country...
†. Gen 40:20a . . Pharaoh's birthday came three days later, and he
gave a banquet for all his officials and household staff.
What really is the purpose of a birthday party anyway if not to celebrate
your own existence? For a guy in Pharaoh's position, life is good: better than
what you could...
†. Gen 40:4b-8a . . After they had been in custody for some time,
each of the two men-- the cupbearer and the baker of the king of
Egypt, who were being held in prison --had a dream the same night,
and each dream had a meaning of its own.
. . .When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw...
Joseph was 17 when he arrived in Egypt, and 30 when he became prime
minister. So 13 years of his young adulthood were wasted in slavery and
confinement; and all that time without even so much as a date or a
girlfriend. More than a full decade of the best years of his life went by with
no female...
†. Gen 39:1-3 . . Now when Joseph arrived in Egypt with the
Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, a member of the
personal staff of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Potiphar was the
captain of the palace guard. The Lord was with Joseph and blessed
him greatly as he served in the home of...
†. Gen 38:18b-23 . . So he gave them to her and mated with her, and
she conceived by him. After she left, she took off her veil and put on
her widow's clothes again.
. . . Meanwhile, Judah sent the young goat by his friend the
Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he...
†. Gen 38:12a . . As time went by, Judah's wife Bath-shua died.
This event left Judah single, and eligible to remarry; so that Tamar and
Judah are now both single adults; however, Tamar is betrothed, and that
makes things a little complicated.
†. Gen 38:12b . . After he got over her passing...
†. Gen 38:6 . . Judah got a wife for Er his first-born; her name was
Tamar.
Ms. Tamar is a total mystery. Neither her family, her ethnic identity, her
age, her looks, her education, her material worth, nor anything else is
known about her. But she's the one through whom God will bring Messiah...
†. Gen 38:1a . . About that time
Joseph was 17 when he arrived in Egypt (Gen 37:2) and 30 when he became
prime minister (Gen 41:46). When he went to work for Pharaoh; a 14-year
period began, consisting of two divisions-- seven years of plenty, and seven
years of famine. After 9 of the 14 years...
