So I began to re-read the bible today.  The woman I have been speaking with suggested a particular passage, and provided a copy of it in Word format for me, it was the General Epistle of John.  LOL, she said to start with Chapter One, but I have read five chapters.  They’re short.  I managed to get a good page full of notes, and have already looked up some of the words I didn’t know.  I downloaded a "NET" bible from Bible.org, and she’s going to send me a copy of a bible.  LOL, God tells me, Don’t ask a bunch of people for a copy of the bible, or you’ll end up with TEN copies instead of one.  He also told me, "Forget your prejudices and your preconceived notions."  When I started to read the bible when I was 18 or so, I got SO mad at some of the things I read that I just had to quit reading it.  God tells me "You’re older now, wiser too.  It’ll make more sense.  Trust me."  LOL. 
OH, and I was laying in bed last night, and I thought, I REALLY want to know why there are no women writers in the Bible.  And it came to me.  "They weren’t taught to write."
DUH!  Of COURSE.  Really, only the priesthood was taught to read and write on that day and age, so most "common" people were illiterate.  Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? 
The conversations I have right before I go to bed, or even when my mind is just wandering during a quiet moment, continually amaze and delight me.  I ask a question, I receive an answer.  I can remember walking to school, just talking to God, and I always loved that the answers were loving, and made sense. 

I’ve been talking to Linda for an hour, hour and a half now, so I’m going to post this, hopefully I can add more later, but it’s getting late, and I should go to bed.
