...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Deep Sleep
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.-Acts 20:7-12***When the apostle Paul (Saul) and Silas (Silvanus) were in prison in Philippi, the jailer was soundly sleeping as Paul and Silas were praying and singing to the Lord God. The jailer remained sleeping until shortly after a sudden quaking of the earth shook the prison's foundations and every door was opened and each prisoner's bonds were unfastened. After the jailer was awake and aware of the open doors, he thought to end his life. However, Paul called out reassuringly to the jailer, and the jailer asked Paul and Silas of the requirements to be saved. Paul and Silas told the jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus, and Paul and Silas shared the message of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, with the jailer and his family. The jailer and his family were baptized, and the jailer fed Paul and Silas, and Paul and Silas were back in prison. Paul and Silas were told to depart and Paul and Silas were asked to depart. In Troas, as Paul was preaching a lengthy message before leaving Troas, Eutychus, one of the young men in attendance, fell deeply asleep and fell from the 3rd floor, and was divinely fallen upon and embraced by Paul.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31
