Genesis: Chapter 5

The genealogy from Adam to Noah.

In this chapter we also see how long people lived and when they died. Commentaries say that these lines are included in the bible for several reasons: to track the lineage to Jesus, who would be born in the line of Abraham, to show Gods attentiveness to every person, knowing them by name and finally to aid the passing down of events at this time since information was transferred orally.

The part I found most interesting was Enoch. Enoch is the only person whom it mentions, "walked with God" and rather than dying, it says that he simply, "was no more". Makes you wonder, right?

While I have no objection to daintier, more feminine hands, it does pose one problem: my wedding ring no longer fits. For awhile I tried wearing it regardless; but the first time I enthusiastically told a story, using my hands to talk, that circular symbol of unity went soaring. Cody inspected the situation and concluded that, yep, he would need to take it to get re-sized. He planned to visit the jeweler in Portland right away.

Not wearing my wedding ring wasn't doing it for me. First off, I got hit on several times by some creep...

PREGNANCY 101

Easton Alden Prescott We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first son, Easton, for the past eight months. This adventure has been wonderful and exciting from the get-go! Here is a little synapses of our journey! My favorite part, so far, was telling Cody that he was going to be a Daddy-o. With some help from Robbie, I had him convinced that we were all going to the park to take some goofy pictures. Below are pictures of what he really found at our destination. I found a GREAT song for breaking the news to family or friends in a special way. While Cody opened the ring box, I played this in the background . When the message got across, Cody started to tear up, causing his eyes to become hidden behind to lenses of fog.-Adorable! ______________________________________________________ During the first couple of weeks there was little physical change happening. We spent our time getting used to th...
