Genesis 6

There's a certain irony in reading about Noah when the day you had hoped would be sunny isn't.

I'm discovering my mind isn't as agile as it used to be.
Not that's it ever really been gazelle-like.
Unlike my body.
Which was once if I recall correctly.
1986 in November.
Possibly early December.
The memories. Sigh.
But I'd hoped for at least 10 more years of not worrying whether the sentence I start will ever fi........ I don't like rain.

Annoying rain that is more like a thickened fog anyway.

Genesis 6
We often hear about how evil the world we live in is now. But I wonder if God looks at mankind now and is sorry he ever made us like he did in this chapter.
So bad He wanted to wipe out all the animals and birds as well.
Noah was the standout of his generation and I wonder about the influence of his great grandfather Enoch in his relationship with God.
I'm loving how the chapter finishes.
"Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him."

I think I need to try writing later on in the day.
Nothing comes easy and there are too many distractions around at the moment.
Distractions are good.
Sometimes.
I'm certain that somewhere, someone famous said it.
Or maybe it was written on a wall.
You shouldn't read everything you see written on walls.
Particularly some walls.
There are some places I've been where I make it a point NOT to read what's written on the walls.
Unless your name is Daniel.
Then you have to read some walls.
Sometimes.

It's not like I have a schedule with this at all.
Just a 24 hour period to fit in the guidelines I have set myself.
I like the concept of guidelines.
Guidelines with deadlines.
It's too soon after watching Pirates of the Caribbean again.
Maybe.
I find myself thinking if there is a "Blogger's Code".
Need to find a coffee pretty soon.

And I really need to fish.
Hurry up August 7.
