I find myself reading the bible and becoming increasingly curious about the things that are NOT being emphasised upon. Sometimes it is very difficult for me to relate to the people in the bible because I do not know enough about them. In my mind it is almost as if they are the amazing super humans who’s lives were just very easy. Well. maybe not exactly easy, but not relational in any way to my life and my walk with the Lord. I know there is so much more to all these men and women’s stories, and I want to know! I want to know the trials and tribulations that we have both gone through, and I want to be able to link myself to these men and women. Dear John The Baptist, I have never been in jail nor baptized anyone, but I know we have to have SOMETHING in common. You lived in the wilderness right? My hometown is Exeter, RI. Some say thats the wilderness. Dear James and John, I left my father too, so that I could pursue a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ. I now live in Kansas City, 1500 miles away from him. I know you left your dad too, was that hard for you? Dear David, I really love your Psalms, but especially the one that was numbered 23. When I read it I feel an incredible peace wash over me. What were you feeling when you wrote it? Dear Mary, I have never had a child, but what did you feel like when yours was nailed to a cross? I am so curious about the lives of the people in the bible.I mean its possible that when I am at sitting at the banqueting table I might be sitting next to Mary of Bethany, both of us gazing lovingly at our King…
