Betwixt and Between

Yesterday saw my last post on Proverbs; I set out to finish the book this time, unlike 11 years ago when I didn’t make it to the end. I’m sorry to say that even though It’s done, I am not happy with the outcome.

In trying to get through, I tried several different formats and styles to cover those long stretches of proverbs and sayings, each of which stands alone, without a continuing narrative. It has groupings of similar themes, but no clear and precise narrative which makes it difficult for an expository approach. So in short, I really didn’t get it figured out… until the last few chapters.

I think I turned the corner after the 30 sayings ended in Chapter 24. It’s my intention to redo the Proverbs study, but not to serialize it again; that would be a bit much. Instead, it will be a reflective study of the book available for download in an inclusive pdf file for anyone interested. It will take some time to do; I’ll let you know when it’s available.

Other Projects Planned

I am currently working on two studies that will be serialized on this blog, and then made available as complete studies for download, possibly with Bible study guides for those who host small groups or lead Bible Studies. The first one will be called “Born Again a New Creation”. This one will look at the entire concept of being Born Again in a deep dive format that goes to the very heart of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The second is an in-depth study of the Nephilim from Genesis 6. So far, my research is following threads and strings in directions I hadn’t anticipated; this one will be a most exciting adventure. I’ll be sure to keep you all in the loop as these move forward.

Finally, I’ve been doing a great deal of research into blogs and blogging lately. You’d think that after almost 15 years of doing this that I would know a little something about blogs, but I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve come to the conclusion that I haven’t a clue; everything has changed since I started this, and I haven’t kept up!

I’m looking to fix that in the weeks and months ahead, and of course, I’ll be keeping you all in that loop as well.

Finally, I want to thank each and every one of my dear readers for your support of this site. Every visit, every bit of feedback mean a great deal to me, and you should know that I greatly appreciate your visits, likes, comments and subscriptions; you mean more to me than you will ever know.

Thank you and may God continue to bless each of you.
