More June Fun

These kiddos love their play room! I am so happy to have it finished so we can use it this summer. 

We had a backyard movie night for the church youth. They watched The Princess Bride. It was fun!

We have been doing a little Bible lesson along with our summer school. We are working our way through the Bible and K is making a tree from the Garden of Eden.

They can be so sweet sometimes.

M joined Blake and me on our anniversary date. We celebrated 9 years on June 17th.

A little swimming for the girls. J was fishing or at ball practice. 

Senior Bible Presentation

Mattie graduated from high school this year. She is so sweet and my kids adore her! We love you pretty girl!

The Bible

I am trying to read the Bible from start to finish.  I have tried before but I always end up skipping around and reading my favorite parts again.  The begots really bog my down.  I thought if I found a way to quiz myself as I read I might do better.  So, www.kingjamesbibleonline.org, lets you read the bible online if you wish (I prefer to hold a book), comment on each chapter, and has trivia questions for each chapter.  So far I'm doing pretty good but I'm only to Noah. 
However, I was scanning some of the comments people had posted.  I was shocked!!  Genesis 4:1-2 says, "Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said 'I have acquired a man from the Lord.'  Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel..."  Now I am a very literal reader and I have a hard time when people ask "what does the author REALLY mean?"  Probably because most of the time the author means what they write.  Back to the point...I take this to mean that Adam and Eve had marital relations and she became pregnant with Cain.  Then at another point in time, she gave birth to Abel. 
However, some people believe that Cain is actually Satan's son conceived very closely to the time at which Abel was conceived with Adam making the two brothers twins with different fathers.  WHAT?????????  Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but where in the Bible does it even elude to that ever happening.  Apparently when Satan tempted Eve he did it with the fruit of the tree and his loins. 
There were several other comments that I was appalled by as well.  I'm pretty sure that I couldn't control myself and I commented as well.  I set them straight! 
I am SO SO SO lucky, happy, overjoyed that I was raised in a Christian family.  I can't imagine believing such far fetched ideas.  I hope that if you believed that Cain was Satan's son that you will go back and reread Genesis.  Just read what it says and don't over think it.  God didn't give it to us to confuse us.  It's written on an 8th grade reading level!
