He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and his hands also heal.

I got another gig. You probably already know about my job at Crichton College as an adjunct. It’s a great job and I’m grateful for it, but it doesn’t quite meet the budgetary needs.
I’ll cut to the chase. I scrub toilets on Monday mornings. I knocked four of those bad boys out this morning. They didn’t know what hit ‘em. But, I don’t just scrub toilets. I also clean, mop, sweep, dust, vacuum, etc. I am Mr. Clean. Except hairier.
Some really cool folks needed someone to help clean their house. I called them. They have a son in college named Ryan. Bam. I’m a housekeeper.
That makes me an enigma. A contradiction. An irony. Toilets by day. Hebrew by night.
I’m studying Hebrew right now. Hebrew puts lines in your forehead.
Have you noticed I don’t update like I once did. I’m sorry. I spend my free time exfoliating. Trying to get those wrinkles to iron out.
One last word, before I get back to my ha’ams and yabs: God has taken us out of the desert to an oasis. Our cup is full!
You’ve probably noticed that blogging activity has come to a slow drip (coffee metaphors are especially timely for me). There are two reasons for this:
1) Time. Not as much of it. I’m busy learning Hebrew, people!
2) No internet. Now that we’re poor, internet is a luxury we’ve cut out of our lives. So, I spend a fraction of the time online that I used to.
I still blog. In fact, my output would probably be twofold had I the time and access. I have tons of stuff rolling around noggin these days.
I just got out of Hebrew I. Systematic Theology is up next.
I have a few minutes, so I thought I’d share with you what I’ve termed “Hebriety”. That’s shorthand for Hebrew Anxiety. Just look at that alphabet! I never saw anything like that on Sesame Street!
Oh yeah, due to some unforeseen circumstances this morning, I managed to make it to school with a black belt and brown shoes on. Yay for a stylish first day!
Jesus most likely spoke Aramaic in his home and learned Hebrew in the temple. He probably heard Greek in the marketplace some, but most likely did not speak it or understand it.
That means that Jesus would not have been able to read the New Testament in it’s original form. That also means that when Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote down what they heard, they had to translate from the language Jesus was using to Greek.
That’s crazy! I never knew that.
