Men Rule and Women Rule the Cradle

I Chronicles 6-8

He begat him, him begat he, he begat him.  Not much room for girls.  I imagine many a Hebrew mom read these chapters and thought, “Humph, I wonder how many hes and hims, he and him birthed!!!?”  Behind every great Chronicle stands a mighty Chroniclette. 

I hope you womened/maned up and read all these begats.  Its called “stick-to-it-ness.”  Think about it like pulling weeds in the spring so you’ll enjoy sweet tomatoes all summer. 

When the great artist Michelangelo was asked by the Pope to paint the Pope’s private chapel, he refused because he was a sculptor.  He felt painting was beneath him.  It was only when the Pope threatened to excommunicate him that he relented and painted the beautiful Sistine Chapel.  So always read Chronicles as if it were your personal Sistine Chapel.
