Getting started
entering into the world
neither expecting to be
educated in the
symbiosis of
individual and family
systems of history and today.
Today I am re-reading Genesis and for some reason I am seeing and reading comparisons to what we are today. There were many deals that were made among family members, as there are deals made by today's families to make a better life for themselves as Jacob and Esau and Issac and Abimelek learned. There were and are solutions as well as blessings for many things to flourish or demise back then and even today. Who knows?
About the Creator
Mark Graham
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

Abraham Tested
This is the story that teaches us all "That the Lord will provide." The Lord provided for Abraham and his son, and he still provides for us all today. We just have to learn to be more patient in what we do. He tests us every day and we all hope that we are passing our tests. Today we to give offerings they may not be burnt offerings, but they are our way to see through the issues that may occur from previous events we have done and in hopes of being accepted by all who matter in many ways.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

Nice bit of poetry and drabble on the book of Genesis, Mark.
