3: Gen 8-11/ Noah jumps ship and What did you say?

               Day Three Genesis 8-11

      Wow these verses give a reality to the lucky number seven, even though I am sure Louie and his OCD would completely disagree with me. I say this because it was the seventh month and the seventeenth day that the big ol boat came to a rest. I still get little Goosebumps when I see a rainbow, and no not like the Double Rainbow guy that you can see on UTube I don't freak out like that I just get little Goosebumps remembering that it isn't just the way our eyes see water through some prisms but it is a remembrance of covenant that God made with man.

                Another teaching moment in this that I think I found is that Genesis 9:20 says that Noah had a vineyard and apparently one day went out and got a little tipsy, and can you blame him, I picture him being hot, overly tired from all of the work he had been doing and it probably just felt good to have a few glasses of wine, granted I feel his pain as my other part of my lent experience is giving up wine which of course I feel God is laughing at me because right now with so much going on in our lives and so much yummy Italian food and add into that the Jacuzzi, yes Noah I feel your pain. But his kiddos came in and saw him, first his youngest and I can only imagine what was going through him mind he must have been cracking up finding his father laid out in the yard naked and I bet he ran to get his brothers so they could all have a laugh, go figure instead the brothers took the high road and covered him up and then the next morning as they were drinking their coffee while Noah was dealing with a hangover and I bet those brothers just had to tattles, the first tattletales and they got their way, but I guess that we should just take from this that we should make sure and not take joy at other's sorrows which should be a great lesson for me because I honestly believe that at times I do take joy in situations instead of actually pitying the person.

                And then the tower of Babel to me just another expression of how God has a firm hand and a sense of humor, how witty he must be in order to come up with such a wonderful plan, can't you just see him sitting back with a tub of popcorn watching everyone run around with different words trying to figure everything out?
