Seeing in a new light.

I am in a bible study group that meets once a week. We are studying Daniel and it has been (and I am sure will continue to be) a real eye opener. I had never really considered the “real” version of the bible stories I grew up with. During the study by Beth Moore an example was given to us as part of the bible study of what it would really be like to have been Daniel in the lions den. In the video she read an excerpt from an article in Sporting Classics. The article portrayed what it would be like to really be attacked by a lion. I had never really considered before what SHOULD have happened to Daniel in that den. I have lived my life with the bright and shiny Disney-eque version of bible stories and never actually ventured to think about the reality of them. It was a real awakening to consider the reality. This study has really brought a new light to how I view this study and also Sunday sermons. I feel that I am learning so much more then I had expected.
