dear bloggers,
wow! i count up five full weeks of school left – so can’t be more than four more blogs, maybe less…

“eat this book” by eugene peterson – about how to read the Bible – like about the fourth-ish book i’ve read in the series that he did about the words of Christ – as was the case with the other three books, i enjoyed the book thoroughly – in this volume, what i found most interesting was about translation – how translations come to us and what we do with them – he talked about how the Bible was written, for the most part, in very common language – there wasn’t a newly-invented vocabularly that the writers used, and most of the words describe very common, ordinary things

“the grim grotto” – book 11 in unfortunate events – the baudelaires go underwater in this episode – ironically enough, i read the book saturday while most of alabama was under water… 🙂 i enjoyed most the captain and his motto that “he who hesitates is lost” – rather absurd – a good running motto though…

additionally, there was a good article about exercise in the ny times magazine (run now, benefit later), a rather disturbing article about cell phones and their harmful radiation, and i’m now into late 1 corinthians in my quest to finish the new testament

your readings???
