Exodus
In hoping that readers have liked my interpretations of some Genesis stories I am going to write some of my interpretations of the Book of Exodus and the life of Moses from childhood to adulthood. If I remember this is the book of the that the movie 'The Ten Commandments' was based on long ago. "Let my people, go! wasn't that a quote the movie used so long ago. I am just starting Exodus, and the baby Moses was just found in the reeds in the river Nile and given to the Pharoh's daughter to care for even though wrong.

Out of Egypt
To me my interpretation to the rest of the Book of Genesis is one of bargaining and making deals and of begating and making sure that family stays put. There were promises made and kept and there were also promises that weren't kept. Joesph and his wife as well as his sons and daughters had decisions to make on how they should live their lives, and did they make the right ones for now as we look to the Nation of Israel as a World nation do you suppose that the original inhabitants are thinking now of what they created?

A Dream
The dream I am sharing now is the one of Jacob's that I learned as 'Jacob's Ladder' the one that told him that the land he is on is the Lord's land and he is the one leader in his family. Jacob builds a pillar and pours oil on it and names the place Bethel. I am going to push this idea, but today when people buy a home and land and the name it, for example 'The Homeplace' are they doing what Jacob did or they are just self-aggrandizing their own worth? Is it for family, or is it?

Brothers
Ever since Cain and Abel and Esau and Jacob it seems like brothers today are still like them in some ways. Today brothers quarrel and fight and some even make up for what they do to each other. I know that Cain killed his brother, and Esau held his grudge against his. Today, brothers seem to work together mostly, but even today and into tomorrow deals and bargains will be made and broken, but we must remember all the lessons that our parents teach us whether they were right or wrong and learn from them in many ways and means.

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.

Lot and His Daughters
I really like Genesis for there are many lessons that one can learn. Some are good and some bad. Good thing this was then and not in the "Me too" time. This story was when Lot's daughters slept with their father to keep the family going for the future. Back then the daughters knew it was wrong, but they did what they had to do then and held nothing against Lot. The daughters knew the family will continue and I wonder if they knew then somehow what would happen with their sons and their lives and families in the future.

A Christmas story
Could this be a Christmas tree this man is walking away from? It has a shape to it and as in a 'Charlie Brown Christmas' all it needs is a little love. All you need is some pinecones with peanut butter and birdseed and string to hang on the branches. Maybe some popcorn chains with cranberries. That is what the man is thinking as he walks back to his house and thinks what a nice present to give to the Winter birds who stay around in the cold and snowy and yes blustery North. Now the birds can have Christmas.

The Rose
There was this old rose bush in a neighbor's yard years ago that seemed to only bloom peach-colored roses. The neighbor said, "His wife planted that bush before she died and every time it blooms, I think of her. Her favorite color was peach and when I see those blooms she is speaking to me and sharing what she is doing now in heaven. Now, I do not talk back, but one day I will share with her again all the memories that she missed physically for I know she will know emotionally for she is watching over me now.

Rainbow and Cloud
One day when looking up at the sky and just looking at the clouds I saw a faint rainbow still for it was slightly after a sun shower. You know those rain showers that occur when the sun is out. Anyhow, as looking at the fluffy white clouds a rainbow appeared. For some reason I just closed my eyes and was just silent and listened. It was probably my imagination, but sometimes at times like these I believe I hear my mom and dad talking to me an offering me encouragement in what I still need to do here. Thinking.
