Transfering Notes

My Bible and a cup of Coffee

I mentioned yesterday that I was copying notes from my old bible to me new one. That is only half true. Years Ago, when I started walking in faith I was given a Ryrie Study Bible (NIV).

Can I have your old Bible Dad?

My Son is a ball of energy.

30 Days With the Literary ESV

ESV Literary Study Bible

In January I caught a post on the Logos newsgroups introducing me to the ESV Literary Study Bible. And I just caught it again at Mark Bertrands Bible Design Blog. My first thought was that it would serve me no purpose. My second thought was to remember that the number of literary allusions to the scriptures in English Literature is mind boggling. So I became curious and decided to check it out. I hit the official web site and started perusing it a bit. Among other things I learned by reading the prefacethat this isn't about highlighting the Bible in other literature; it's about highlighting the forms of literature in which God revealed himself. For my taste that sounded better. The Bible is packed with literary styles - it was enough to make me want to read it.

I noticed that I could sign up for a thirty day account for free. This would enable me to have full access to the text, charts and summaries for thirty days. And then I hatched an idea: Why not read through the bible in thirty days? Yes, I mean read through the whole bible in a mere month

NBC to have new series "Kings" based on King David in a modern context...

KINGS -- "Kings" is an exploration of the timeless David-versus-Goliath struggle. The show is set in a modern metropolis under siege, where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan, "Resident Evil: Extinction"), a brave young soldier, rescues the king's (Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, "Deadwood") son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women -- including the king's daughter. When he's promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall. Sebastian Stan ("Gossip Girl") also stars. "Kings" is a production of Universal Media Studios; Michael Green (NBC's "Heroes") is the executive producer. Francis Lawrence ("I Am Legend") is the director and executive producer and Erwin Stoff ("I Am Legend") also is executive producer.

I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed again with NBC... (Anyone remember the Noah adaption they did?) Thoughts anyone?

Truth Is, This Is Only A (fun little) Test

When my son came home from college this last Christmas break we spent some time quizzing each other about different Bible-related topics primarily using the tools and resources in my Logos Bible software library. I thought it appropriate that I share here the questions we came up with on the subject of “truth.” (The choice of the topic was actually inspired by this site.) Whether you take this "test" just for the fun of it or maybe for a little added edification, I hope you find these questions and the answers (listed at the end) both interesting and enjoyable.

__ a) 224
__ b) 298
__ c) 403
__ d) 637

2) Testament-wise, the appearance of the word “truth” is divided:
__ a) About 65% in the Old Testament and 35% in the New Testament
__ b) About equally between the Old and New Testament
__ c) About 35% in the Old Testament and 65% in the New Testament
__ d) Less than 20% in the Old Testament and over 80% in the New Testament
