Day 5, so far I have noticed that almost no one looks at these but I will continue anyway. USN nuked me lol. Oh well. Also, it's my birthday.

Anyway, let's get into the sermon.

This next bit, Genesis 6 and 7, include the common and well known story of Noah's Ark. 

[5] Adonai saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only. [6] Adonai regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart. [7] Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them.” [8] But Noach found grace in the sight of Adonai.

Humans, in God's eyes, were naturally evil. Personally I don't totally disagree. Humans can be very vile and nasty creatures, and you don't have to look far to see it. Hell, over the past day just in the P&W forums I have seen plenty of people just be dicks to one another because they can. In my personal experience, I have seen such vile and evil things done by man. But I have also seen some amazing people do amazing things and not ask for credit or recognition. Such is the nature of humanity, the best we can do is separate ourselves from the evil and align with the good.

FYI, I am reading the CJB. The Jewish Bible. So "Noah" is spelled "Noach".

[13] God said to Noach, “The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence. I will destroy them along with the earth. [14] Make yourself an ark of gofer-wood; you are to make the ark with rooms and cover it with pitch both outside and inside. [15] Here is how you are to build it: the length of the ark is to be 450 feet, its width seventy-five feet and its height forty-five feet. [16] You are to make an opening for daylight in the ark eighteen inches below its roof. Put a door in its side; and build it with lower, second and third decks.

[17] “Then I myself will bring the flood of water over the earth to destroy from under heaven every living thing that breathes; everything on earth will be destroyed. [18] But I will establish my covenant with you; you will come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

[19] “From everything living, from each kind of living being, you are to bring two into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they are to be male and female. [20] Of each kind of bird, each kind of livestock, and each kind of animal creeping on the ground, two are to come to you, so that they can be kept alive. [21] Also take from all the kinds of food that are eaten, and collect it for yourself; it is to be food for you and for them.” [22] This is what Noach did; he did all that God ordered him to do.

Sorry for the hefty section there. God believed that a factory reset of the world would fix everything.
It didn't but lets go with it.
Noah made the ark with those specifications and took 2 of every animal on Earth (except the unicorn, but that's just my Irish folklore pecking out). I think this is what actually occurred, more or less. I do think there was a great flood, and I do think that Noah rounded up a bunch of animals...but I don't think it was world ending and I have yet to decide if it was enacted by God himself. 

Commandment time. 

“Thou shalt not kill.”

Self-explanatory. Or is it? See, killing is generally okay in many cases (lol). Murder is what should be meant there, as killing to protect yourself is okay.

Coronavirus is still the only issue I can discern. So still I pray for all of your health and safety. My goal for all of you is to show some love for your family and friends, because you never know when you will lose them. I learned this the hard way a while back, don't make my mistake.

Stay safe, stay happy, stay healthy.

Godspeed.
