Trouble with Literature

So I was a little stunted in high school. Not only did I go into English 30 with an inability  spell and no desire to read, I ended up having an English teacher who hated men (even though my man hood could have been debated - can anyone say feathery mustache and permed hair mullet) but my teacher also had a hatred for Christians (maybe that could have been debated too - except I was a PK which kind of brands you regardless) However I had trouble with finding connections with themes in literature. So Im having trouble figuring the common theme in these passages. Maybe You can help me out. Take a look and let me know your thoughts.Gen 12:1-3, Gen 26:1-6, 28:10-15, Exodus 19:1-6, I Peter 2:14-10, Gal 3:7-9, 29

So in light of Melissa's posting the other week when we see this thread through the whole Bible does this say anything about our involvement with it? If so, what does it mean? Is this "theme" a little more important than we have thought in the past? How does it affect us today?
