The Word of God speaks to us. The Bible is always relevant.
Maybe you’ve seen some of these items this week, or maybe it just feels that way. Welcome to the Satur-deja Vu. Continue reading

Satur-deja Vu
Satur-deja Vu is not just a review. It also gives me a chance to drop in some things I couldn’t find a place for, and perhaps mention a topic that will not be getting its own post for whatever reason. It lets us take inventory. I used to call My Other Blog “the bottom file cabinet draw of the blogosphere.” Saturday is when we organize the file cabinet.

The Bible, Part 3
I’m still watching the Bible on History. My simple prayer before it began was that it not be stupid. It certainly isn’t stupid; the film is well made, filmed on location and for the most part tells the Bible story. I understand that some things must be left out and others abbreviated.

There’s also a bit about a Bible museum being built by the owners of Hobby Lobby.
Coming Soon…
I know it’s been a while; almost a month. The school year is over, graduation is past, and we’re back from our 2 week road trip. I’m looking forward to get back into my routines: reading scripture in the morning, teaching during the day (summer school hours are shorter) and blogging in the afternoon. I promise, once again, that I have not stopped blogging… just slowed down for a little while.
