I had on sunday said that I was behind on my bible reading and had asked for prayer on that topic. I am glad to say that maybe I am not caught up yet but I am on chapter 39. I stayed up till 1145p last night and Had started at 10p. I also took my bible with me to work and on my ten and lunch read thus far.

I am really proud of myself. I know that I am supposed to be done in Genesis but this is a huge building block for me. For the first time in a long time I was able to stay home and shut my laptop off and not get distracted by the television. (even though it was very tempting because the remote was next to me) I was able to read God's word.

Question: In chapter 38 they switch from jacob to israel. Jacob was renamed Israel by God. It just confused me because there are times that they call him Jacob like when the sons brought Josephs robe they refer to him as Jacob(v. 34-35) and the time when Rachel died. But then the sentence immediately following it they say Israel(v.20-21) Is this the same guy?

Anyway. I wanted to thank everyone for praying for me.
