I have been intrigued by the
idea of "writing the Bible" for quite some time. I've even started a couple times and got through several chapters of Genesis as well as Matthew. It's a spectacular way to study the Scriptures and New Testament. There's something about reading in small snippets, repeating the phrase to yourself, writing it in your own hand, and checking you got the words correct that allows small details to pop! and new connections to form for yourself. But then one thing leads to another and, "it's ok if I skip today, I'll pick up again tomorrow" has now been a year later. So I've decided to blog my writing journey; partly because of the accountability it provides but mostly because writing my spiritual journey helps me to put many thoughts into a cohesive nutshell for myself.
At the outset, I want to stress this is
my journey. I am no great holder of wisdom, no dispenser of doctrine and am so early on in my pilgrimage that I am still packing my bags and examining maps. If you should stumble across these words while wandering this great virtual world we have created, you are most welcome to sit down for a chat, lend an insight, or
(gently, please) offer a correction. What you must
not do is think that
I think I've got this all figured out...
So beginning tomorrow, I will hopefully share a small phrase that jumped out at me from
Deuteronomy 1 (one of my favorite 'books' and so my current 'book' to write).
