Genesis (1)
Series: Storyline

Genesis 1:1-5
Before we begin let me recommend a few resources -
1. YOU VERSION BIBLE APP - Free download, allows you to select a reading plan, we are using the READING GOD'S STORY CHRONOLOGICAL READING PLAN. It also has an audio version if you need to listen as you go rather than sit down and read.
2. JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE - It's a kids bible, but there should be a copy in every home in this church. You can understand the bible if you read a story a week.

You have to walk maybe a quarter of a mile to get there.

So, we had to walk quiet a ways up the creek to find a place shallow enough to cross... but we made it, had a great day.. then it came time to return. Again, we had to walk back up the creek and find our crossing.
Once we crossed the creek we couldn't locate trailhead. Now generally, I have a pretty good sense of direction so I was certain that if we continued south we would eventually run into the trail. But as we walked the woods seemed to grow thicker and thicker and the sun was setting. We had no ph ...
