It&#8217;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&#8230;). Also, I am rethinking the entire first chapter. I fear it might be too&#8230;condemning. I want to say what I think and feel, but do it in a loving way. However, I don&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>On Life. We&#8217;re moving. That&#8217;s a chore. I think by our last count, it&#8217;s twelve moves in twelve years. Or is it thirteen now?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;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\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ancient-hebrew.org\/docs\/13_GinsburgHebrewNT.pdf\">http:\/\/www.ancient-hebrew.org\/docs\/13_GinsburgHebrewNT.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8230;you must be ready for foul language, coarse jokes, and heretical ideas. But friendships develop, and we get to talk about Jesus. Awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Update: I&#8217;m having troubling making headway on chapter 2. It&#8217;s evolving into a beast.
