Noah’s Blog: Day 13
Today I showed Emzara what rain looks like. Since I was working off of a dream it was harder than I thought. When I tried explaining it to her in words her eyes bulged and she started to panic because all she could picture was a giant sea dropping on us and she exclaimed, “we’ll be squished!” she paused and then quickly added, “and then drowned!” It was cute and it made me chuckle.
I thought it would then be best to just show her. I think the easiest way would have been to take her to a water fall but it’s a half a day’s trip to the nearest one and with all this planning we really can’t afford to take an entire day away from the Project.
So I took one of our wooden bowls and made a few very small holes with it. I held the bowl and told Emzara to pour water into it. She watched as drops of water fell through the holes and landed in the dirt. I explained to her it was like this but at times faster with bigger drops. I think she understood but it was hard to tell because she started ranting about how I ruined one of her favorite mixing bowls.

Who’s Emzara?
Where did you get this from?
You can click on the name which links to a Wikipedia article on the possible wives of Noah (and his sons). There’s some debate on whose Noah’s wife actually was since the Bible doesn’t give a name. I’ve also read that it could be a woman called Naamah (I guess because she’s mentioned in Genesis 4:22? who knows). I’m debating on which name I’ll use.
It’s an idea I’ve had for awhile now and have actually had the time to try and flesh it out a little.
I really like this! When I first saw it I thought you’d been hacked and someone had posted as you but I get it now! :)
This is so awesome. After reading it a couple of times I got it. HEHE. It’s because I didn’t read the title very well. I really like this idea. It puts some many things into perspective and it makes the “fairy-tail” Bible characters come to life so we can realize they were humans, like us, too. Awesome.
