Books and Life

Book Update: I’m having troubling making headway on chapter 2. It’s evolving into a beast. It looks like I will need to make it two chapters, which means the intro I have already posted will actually be the intro for chapter 3 (If I end up keeping it at all…). Also, I am rethinking the entire first chapter. I fear it might be too…condemning. I want to say what I think and feel, but do it in a loving way. However, I don’t want to be bland and boring. If I write, I want to keep myself interested as well as the reader. That first chapter had a little kick to it. I probably won’t know what to do with it until the book is finished. So anyway, I may repost the intro to the new chapter 2 soon.

On Life. We’re moving. That’s a chore. I think by our last count, it’s twelve moves in twelve years. Or is it thirteen now?

I’m refreshing my Greek and Hebrew by teaching it some guys at work. I figured I put all that time and tears into learning the languages, I should keep them up. I’m actually getting tutored in Hebrew by a Jewish fellow, and we are planning on reading Genesis together, and then move over to the Gospel of John (yes, in Hebrew). I found it for FREE at http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/docs/13_GinsburgHebrewNT.pdf

Speaking of John, I continue to read it with Jamie and Bill. We had the craziest discussion last night from John 13. I tell you, if you have never read Scripture with somebody who has never read it before, you are missing out. Be warned though…you must be ready for foul language, coarse jokes, and heretical ideas. But friendships develop, and we get to talk about Jesus. Awesome.
