But…I’ll keep that in mind. Though those things (in visual form) might better suit my new site that’s coming: iPhoneographi.es

We’ll see…some things are better saved for certain times…

One of the lucky things about being both a writer and a student of the Bible is that there are collections of weekly and daily writing prompts with 4 streams each, i.e., the Revised Common Lectionary. Of course, some Christians think there’s very little more to say than the words in their chosen translation (interpretation by someone else, or several generations of someones). Or they say that every one of those 4 streams MUST be God’s Word to you every time. But that’s not what I said in my Presby ordination vows. I said, believe, and in fact find that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, there’s almost always some piece of that unique and authoritative witness that speaks to me with God’s voice, or begs me to dig under it for God’s voice, or makes me wonder how on earth God’s voice got so buried under people’s voices. The piece may be as small as a word that gives me trouble in reconciling available translations with other uses of the same Greek or Hebrew, or it may be verses the RCL compilers chose to omit, but it’s always something. In fact, all too often it’s more than I can deal with just then.
