good stuff from Greek

Doing stuff in another language is good for making you notice little things along the way (because you're going so slowly!).

One thing I just noticed in Mark 10:15 is the emphatic statement of Jesus.

(my rendition) "Truly I say to youse, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child will definitely not enter it."

For those in the know, it is an emphatic future negative subjunctive construction :-).  It makes for a pretty big statement.  It means "no way Jose"!.

so many languages!

There are so many languages spoken by people in the world!

I'm finding it enough work just dealing with a few. 

But I'm glad that God knows them all (no sweat), and that He's calling people from all people groups to worship Him!

yay for Greek

Yesterday I was getting frustrated trying to absorb lots of info about my topic for church history.

Then I worked on my translation homework for Greek.

It was so much more straight forward.  Go figure. 

Having a more enjoyable time reading Greek than English!  Weird, but amazing to think how far I've come thus far.
