Remember Balaam from Numbers chapter 22? The guy with the talking donkey? Well… archaeologists found his name outside the Bible. The Deir ‘Alla Inscription, discovered in Jordan, refers to “Balaam son of Beor” and identifies him as a seer. Same name. Same father. Same occupation. Evidence of existence.

Day 36 – Exodus 19-21 Always the third day. Hmmm….. 🤔 ✨There seems to be a recurring theme so far where God’s unveiled presence is overwhelming.

Day 22 – Genesis 30-31 What in the world is wrong with these people? Do they not believe in monogamy????? Again, the Bible records, not promotes.

Day 15 – Job 40-42 A lot of lessons here. God restores. Jobby Gilmore got his swing back. 🙌 God rebukes. Job’s friends learned a little “what goes around comes around”. (🎵”Don’t wanna think about it, don’t wanna talk about it, I’m just so sick about it. Can’t believe it’s endin’ this way🎵.…. shout out … Read more
Day 8 – Job 17-20 Today was somewhat repetitive, maybe by design? Job is still in misery and popping off verbally about how miserable he is. Job’s friends still insist that his suffering proves guilt. I retract my statement on Day 5 about the second friend being a keeper. Nope. For some reason, the Train … Read more
