This is my "God Spot" blog

Hello, and welcome to my "God Spot" blog. This is a place for me to journal about my relationship with God. It includes bible readings, other books I learn from, songs, thoughts, etc. Just stuff that has to do with my relationship with God. I have read the bible from cover to cover before and want to do it again but this time instead of going straight through from front to back I want to read it in a chronological order so I found a print out to map it out for me. I am a big history buff too so I may add things like maps or recent scientific discoveries, etc. I hope it will be fun, educational and that my relationship with God will be enhanced by it.

DAN

  • Fifth born son of Jacob (Israel).
  • Born to Rachel's (Jacob's second and favored wife) handmaid Bilhah.
  • One full brother, Naphtali and 10 half brothers.
  • Name means "vindicated"  because Rachel felt vindicated because she couldn't bear her husband children.
  • The second largest Israel tribe after Judah.
  • Failed to conquer the portion of land allocated to them by Jacob and so had to  move northward to conquer that land.
  • His land was the most northerly region, to the north of the Galilee and west of the Jordan.
