I’ve been reading through the King James Bible three chapters a day since January 1, 2008. I just finished the Book of Jonah. Gotta warn the celebs there’s some dry stretches in there. Lots of begats and enumerations of the tribes of Israel. But also the greatest stuff between two covers.

I think part of the "fun" is slogging through the begats and, all of a sudden, here's an amazing little story or some other gem!

Also, to me the begats, etc. declare that God cares about each one of us, even if all we do, as far as history is concerned, is get born, have kids, and die.

I think for Advent I'll read some begats.

You’ll also become an expert in the diagnosis of Leprosy and in the design and engineering of tabernacles!
