The Bible Story That I Have Always Hated


Those of you who have ever been in a Bible study with me, gone to church with me, and those of you who know me well, know that I have always had a problem with the story of Abraham and Isaac.  I know, I know that Old Testament days were different than New Testament times.  I have had numerous people try to explain this story to me.  I even refused to teach the story in a pre-school Bible School one time, so I was fired from that volunteer position.

Yesterday I read Rob Bell's post on this story.  Finally someone who said it:
Thank you, Rob Bell!

"What kind of God would ask a man to sacrifice his son?
Now, an answer: Not this one.
The other gods may demand your firstborn, but not this God."

Scholastic Art Awards~Chloe receives scholarship, gold key, silver keys, etc.




(I like how she kept turning around to smile at all of us--what a sweet girl--I can still picture her at 3 years old--looking just like this!)
