I'm back, maybe

I finally finished the fall semester and took a week off without much other work. I did spend some time in Hebrew and Kathy and I are trying to memorize some of 1 John in Greek, but that is the fun application that comes from the hard work of this past semsters. Besides that I have not done much that relates to school, which includes writing (this blog is included in the writing). I hope to post a couple of my book reviews in the next couple of days that I had to write this past semester. I doubt that anyone cares to read them, but what the heck I'll post them anyway.

Here is a rundown of what has been going on this past semester, not that you care. I am now teaching 8th grade science,. I took Hebrew 3, Greek 1, and Philosophy of Religion at SWBTS-Havard. We have been going to Dr. appts every month, and we moved during finals week. Yeah you heard me, 2 finals and book review in the middle of moving....I don't recommend that. I have also been "training" for the Houston half marathon. I wouldn't say it was much of a training schedule, it turned into long runs on Saturday morning and not much else. I did about 10.5 miles this morning and feel confident that I can make the 13.1 without passing out. The last few months I don't think I have done anything very well and most times felt like I was just trying to survive. I hate that feeling, my sinfulness doesn't want to rely on a Holy God to provide.

I'll have some post coming up in the next few days that deal with more than just me. Also Kathy wants to blog about some heresy isms of church history. She is reading Heroes and Heretic which I think is a very helpful overview of church history. I recommend it to anyone who wants a beginning place to start studying the history of the Christian church.

Dirk - I noticed you have "Basics of Biblical Greek" by Mounce in your reading list. I am actually about to buy that and the workbook, but all I know about it is what I read in the comments on Amazon.

Is it good? Would you recommend it to someone who knows very little Greek?
