Day 2 I have a rather tired joke (but I still enjoy it) that involves replacing “Moses” with “Charlton Heston” whenever I mention the story of the Exodus. Truth be told, it’s how a lot of people learn the story of the Hebrew people and their quest for freedom, identity, and home. Reading Exodus in […]
Day 1 So, here’s the plan. I’m going to read the entirety of the Hebrew Scriptures, Apocrypha, and Christian Scriptures in 45 days. I might allow for a mental health day in there somewhere, but we’ll see. I’m using the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible (Oxford Annotated Version). I appreciate the rigor of […]

I guess I’m on sabbatical now for a month. And it pushed me to blog again – maybe I’ll dust off some of my ancient posts for here. This is a new way of being for me, as I’m the type of minister that works works works until my body and mind can’t work anymore. […]
