Bible study and CNN my friend.
I'm doing some work on my computer and listening to CNN in the back ground, Bush is speaking about his new energy plan. The plan sounds excellent, for years I've been saying we should use our own energy sources more then foreign energy, and this plan is going to do just that. He is also talking about faster advancements in technology, yes God yes, more tech stuff, hehe.
What I was really going to post about though is Tuesday night Bible studies, specifically my thoughts and emotions on it. Three years ago I would have never started Bible study let alone lead it, I don't believe so much from fear but from lack of desire and passion. Now I have started a Bible study but I seem to be lacking something. Probably a medium of hermeneutics, a way to explain my concepts in laymen's form. I also have difficulty teaching more in-depth concepts because of how much faster my thoughts move then my speech, so I end up stuttering and then skipping over half of my teaching because my brain already past it up and I've gotten off focus because I have to translate my thoughts into laymen's terms. So I something like "Proper hermeneutics begins with solid exegesis, the only proper control for hermeneutics is to be found in the original intent of the biblical text." I then have to convert it to..."Performing proper practical Bible teachings begins with having a solid grounding in the historical background of the book in which you are studying, the only proper control for those teachings is to know the original meaning of the text." But even that is not a true translation, my brain doesn't like work like this, it wants to think, to discover, to explore. it doesn't want to translate and teach, I guess you can say it's pretty selfish only absorbing information and not also giving out.
All and all though, God is in control of it and He is pleased with me not because of my performance but because I am a son. I know this in both my heart and mind, I just wish I could speak so that people would understand better. But at the same time I don't want to, I like the way I think. I just have to focus more on the way most people think, and not think so much on finding excellent Biblical concepts, but bring out foundational doctrine through practical teachings so that people can practically apply them. But we can go so much deeper, God help us in our stupidity, you created us, you know how slow we are, especially me who always overlooks the practical to delve into a complex theoretical concept that has no relevance other then enjoying a deep thought.

It was not a big boy bullying a little one, but a young wolf with glistening teeth and a lamb cowering before him; or, it was a dog faithful and famishing--or darvocet a star going slowly into eclipse--or a rainbow fading--or a flower blooming--or a sun rising--or a waning moon..
