I would like to introduce you girls to Jim, an artist using his gifts to glorify God. Skripture-Sketches is his Tumblr and here he is sketching his way through the Bible, chapter by chapter. Along with each sketch he includes the "Big Idea" themes for the chapter and where we can see Jesus in each of the Old Testament chapters.
I think this might be an excellent resource for some of you (like Hallie) who have decided to start reading through the Bible. The Old Testament can be tough for some to read through because you have seemingly endless histories, and chapters made entirely this person gave birth to this person gave birth to this person........ You get the idea. I wish I had spent more time teaching you to see Jesus in the Old Testament during our small group lessons, but I think Jim does an excellent job of this and you could learn some great truths in his writings.
To start in Genesis chapter 1, you'll need to skip back to atleast page 55 of his Tumblr (link below).
Jim is a long term missionary. On his Tumbr he also answers questions and blogs about the country he is in. He writes to his unknown future wife all the time. He is very funny, but very much in love with Jesus. He makes references to How I Meet Your Mother, Harry Potter, The Office, and has an uncanny resemblance to the prince in Tangled.
