Back in the Blogging Saddle

As it were.

I'm working on getting my thoughts and journey back onto the web. It's been a long time since I've updated, but let me give you the quick scoop update.

I've been translating and studying Colossians. I'm going to be teaching it this summer on Sunday nights. It's been fascinating. I've forgotten how much I love translating, and it's been good for my soul. Colossians is the perfect place to go after reading the Gospels. Very plainly the book is about what happened when Jesus accomplished salvation on the Cross: We were rescued from darkness and transferred into light. (I guess the trick is getting that second part figured out practically.)

I'm really excited to see how the kids respond!

Book I tried reading before being too discouraged to continue: Jesus, Interrupted, by Bart Ehrmann.
Book I used to replace it on my summer reading list: Selections from Spurgeon's Sermon Archives.
