It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Ark

In their lectionary commentary, Preaching the Old Testament" Ronald J. Allen and Clark M. Williamson point out that the Hebrew word for "ark" is the same one that is translated as "basket" in Exodus 3. A couple of points interest me: 1) God provides a way of saving our hero from a watery death, and 2) some human effort is necessary to participate in this salvation.
