We continue to make tweaks to the Read the Bible series of posts. By the time we finish Genesis, I hope we have the design elements of the posts, the quality of the audio – maybe find a good place to record – everything just right. We started Happy Monday in 2012 and that took a little while to find itself. Here is the latest post, Genesis 28, and I think we’ve just about got it. If anyone comes along later and starts at Genesis 1, that will be a fun trip.

That’s a screen grab from Bible Gateway. You know I love Bible Gateway. I post the verse of the day in left-hand side bar every morning and use it to compare English translations side by side. Take a close look at Genesis 28:2. After this screen shot I realized it happens again in verse 6. Dudley pointed out that I make mistakes all the time; true that. But my blog is not one of the best Bible text websites with interactive features on the whole entire internet. They have editors, proof-readers, staff, etc. and I’m just a guy. I don’t even get paid for this. If you don’t hire me you can’t fire me.

That’s the complete saying. In its shortened form it sounds like a criticism but the long version is kind of a flex. “The proof is in the pudding” has been shortened from “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” Sometimes they make more sense when you hear the whole thing. There are some sayings and proverbs that I’m sure have been truncated and no one around remembers what the saying used to be.

Based on a true story. Maybe this should have been a Happy Monday meme but that folder is too full and, like I said, true story.

If anyone is looking for me I live in the blue shaded area. That’s also the area they will be doing aerial drops of rabies vaccine for wildlife. In a couple of weeks the United States Department of Agriculture will use both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters to drop thousands of vaccine packets coated with “fish crumbles” across wooded areas in several counties. This is part of a nationwide effort by the USDA to prevent raccoon rabies in the eastern United States. They will drop half a million baits across 3,000 square miles in northwest Georgia alone. The baits are not harmful to pets and if you find one in an open space – they are labeled and have a toll free number on each one – wear gloves or handle with a towel and throw it further into the woods.

Pretty sure that’s AI but I don’t hate it. There’s probably some Ford enthusiasts out there that think this looks too much like a Jeep, which is ironic because Ford built more WWII Jeeps for the US Army than any other company. Like I said, I don’t hate it. If this was real I would choose it over the new Bronco; assuming it has more than a transmission brake.

AI predicts that new teams are likely to join the NFL and win Super Bowl(s) before the Atlanta Falcons do. Seems legit.

For everyone that believes kids today don’t care about anything, from school to career and so forth, consider Dorothy Jean Tillman. This story is actually a year old. She earned that PhD last year during graduation season in May.

And finally…
