Well, here we are in day one of the post-neuro doc visit era. How’s the back doing? Not great. Oh, it’s not that inconsolable, sharp, put me out of my misery pain, so that’s a good thing. But the constant aching is there. As is the occasional catch in the back that kind of takes your breath away and causes you to stop in your tracks just for a second. The dreaded hospital/doctor’s office pain scale varies between an ongoing 4 to an occasional 7 or 8. All in all, it’s just … uncomfortable.
We
experienced an historic milestone yesterday at home group Bible study. (I’ve always wanted to us “an historic” in
a sentence. To me that breaks all the
grammar rules in the book. Love it). So what could possibly have happened to be
awarded such a coveted honor? A little
background first. We are studying
through the Bible with kind of an historic (There it is again),
archaeological, anthropological perspective added. We are currently in the book of Deuteronomy. You know, the children of Israel wandering in the
wilderness for forty years and finally reaching the cusp of the Promised Land,
only to have to wait for Moses to give one last speech. And in that speech he goes through all the
laws he gave them, and then proceeds to add more “just in case it comes up”
kinds of laws. It takes a while to wade
through stuff like that. And it has taken
us … a while … to get this far. But last
night we broke every record in the book.
We raced through not one, not two, but six chapters. They actually included the Moses list of
totally random laws and legal precedents.
Not exactly boring, but certainly not in any sort of logical order. No such guarantees on the next few chapters,
though.
Psalms
16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with
joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Father,
thank you for showing us that you care about the details of how we live our
lives. Amen.
