Finally, A New Post

I think it’s time to resurrect my blog. As you can tell, I didn’t quite make my blog through the Bible in 90 days goal. Nor did I make the read the Bible in 90 days goal. I’m still working my way through, just at a much slower pace.

I’d like to continue blogging through the Bible, but I think that will become just one of a few different types of posts and be a bit less frequent than it was initially. I really enjoyed blogging as I read through the Bible because it helped me to think through many passages in ways that I hadn't before. I'm hoping to post a few times a month on that topic.

Since I’ll be starting seminary classes August 30, I’m thinking this blog can also serve as a great place to process and share the various things I learn in my classes. I’m also thinking it will be a great venue to share other various thoughts and general news with my friends.

I’ve already finished my summer Greek course, and it was amazing. It was really intense to cover two semesters of material in six weeks, but I loved it. The language is fascinating, and it’s so exciting to be able to read (albeit at a very elementary level) the Greek text of the New Testament. This past Sunday I took my Greek NT to church with me and was actually able to follow along as the pastor read the text for his sermon from Ephesians! It was pretty exciting. I’m really looking forward to Greek Exegesis in the Fall where I’ll learn a lot more about the Greek language.

This Fall I’ll be taking Interpreting the New Testament I, Christian Heritage I, Introduction to New Testament Greek Exegesis, Spiritual Journey, and Sankofa: Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation. I’m super excited to start classes and will do my best to share the cool stuff I learn. I can't promise I’ll post super consistently, but I'm hoping to be much more consistent than I have been.

Peace.
