Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.

Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Tanya Wilmoth.

Right now we're going through the first book of the Bible, Genesis.

This morning the Senate is going to vote on whether or not to get rid of daylight savings time.

If it passes it will go to the president and voila, all the spring forward and fall back will be gone along with all our complaints that we make about it and the rhythms we've adapted because of it.

So daylight savings was an agricultural solution it was supposed to provide

more hours of daylight so kids and workers could help farmers get the crops

planted in the spring and harvest it in the fall before and after school and work.

But it doesn't fit as much with our current economy and our rhythms,

and some say that an extra hour of light over the winter

will especially help businesses like restaurants bring patrons in after work.

So it's an intersection of where we've been and where we are

and it's kind of fascinating to look at how we keep doing things

without really knowing why we do it.

Now we've looked at a lot of people in the Bible

on this podcast, and we have yet to find anyone

other than God who is perfect.

But we continually look at how God intersects his perfection into the lives of imperfect people

and wakes them up to the rhythms and patterns that keep them out of his light.

And this is where God finds Jacob when he calls him

and tells him to head back to Bessel.
