Welcome (Not Welcome!) To Kevin’s Ark
by Kevin Burton Our home Bible study has left Genesis for now and gone to Esther. But before we get too far from Noah and the ark, a few more stray thoughts. Or should I say “astray thoughts?” Thoughts that show I have gone astray, at least in the moment. I wrote …
The Great Flood Was No Problem For Fish
by Kevin Burton Not sure why, but I had never thought about what fish were doing during the great flood described in Genesis chapter seven, until now. My home Bible study has been in Genesis for the past two months. The first few chapters have not been easy for me. Comedians have …
