Every Year or so I guess I ought to add a post

Since it has been nearly one year since I posted a blog, it is high time I did it again! What a wonderful year it has been. With the family trip to the Holy Land, the return of Trevor from South Africa, the birth of Dillon, trips with the kids and with Chad and Marsha, a great Richardson Reunion the time spent at the new cabin, scuba diving in the Maldives - who can not feel grateful for all of that?

Even though each one of these activities deserve a few paragraphs of their own, I will come back to them later. I do feel like mentioning that I love the scriptures. I think that I will mention something that most interests me... I have been very interested in learning more about the Old Testament. I have been reading various books about the Old Testament. My favorite is the one titled, "Sperry Symposium Classics, The Old Testament". So many of these essays are amazing.

One book I am now enjoying is "Reflection on the Psalms" by CS Lewis. There are some interesting insights. I noted that this essay seems to stir controversy among some critics. I don't look at it as the gospel truth, but some of his ideas are so pertinent. One more book that I have read some chapters in is "Voices of Old Testament Prophets: The 26th Annual Sidney B. Sperry Symposium".
I am looking forward to this year's study in Sunday School. I would love to have some discussion about the OT if any of you that may read this blog feel like contributing.

Have a wonderful weekend.
