Status Updates From The HarperCollins Study Bib...

my parents just got this for me🥹🥹

I finished reading Mark. It starts out with Jesus as an adult being baptized by John the Baptist. Then he gathers disciples and travels around teaching and performing miracles. Many of the miracles entail casting out demons. He speaks in parables and surprisingly says that he does this so people WON’T understand him. At the end he is crucified and a person says he is resurrected, but no one actually sees him.

The Bible is a collection of multiple books, not just one book. However, Goodreads has no clear-cut method to log the books separately. My workaround is to log the individual books in “progress” notes such as this one. Hence, I’m about halfway through Mark right now.

The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
the calf & the lion..together,
& a little child shall lead them.
The cow & the bear shall graze,
their young shall lie down together;
& the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp...
They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain;
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord...
