From the Desk of the Editor...

Missed church this morning because I spent all last night and most of this morning dealing with an unstable stomach and eventually throwing up.  Which is something the doctor had been asking about a lot and apparently is something she was concerned about showing up.  I don’t know what that means, but I sent her a message about it.  It still isn’t stable, and my headache is much worse than usual, and we just started a new sermon series that I was looking forward to.  I’ll have to download the sermon later.

However, I did just start a new study of my own.  It occurred to me that, being a father and husband, and working on forming an outreach group at school, and my column, and a couple other things going on in my life add up to having a lot more responsibility in knowing Christ than I had before, and I had yet to really kick into directed Biblical study.  I mean, it was kind of a shift just getting myself back to the place where I was reading regularly at all, but I hadn’t really progressed from there aside from a Romans study Carol and I had bought to do together, which we’re about halfway through.

So I have printouts of the Pastoral Letters (1, 2 Timothy and Titus), which I started working through last night.  I started with Titus, though I don’t really have any particular reason for that.  I have the books printed off in a binder, because I don’t really like just highlighting things.  So each page is one-sided so I can write on the back of the page before, and there’s an inch between each line so I can full in other verses that relate or other translations that give insight or the Greek words and their meaning or notes or whatever.  Maybe I’ll show them to you guys later.  In the meantime, since I have a bunch of followers who study this stuff now, if you guys have any suggestions on other resources on these letters that could be useful, feel free to share them.
