In this series of posts we’re addressing the question as to whether there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 (or 1:2 and 1:3). You can read more about the implications of this in the first post of this series. In this post I’m looking at the plausibility of a gap in the text by looking closely at the Hebrew grammar. Our site was hacked. Someone gained access to our servers and placed malicious code in our site that injected spam links in every post. It seemed like the quickest way to fix the problem was to delete everything and start all over again. Luckily, it’s fairly easy to renew the content. But it’s going to take much longer to restore the look and functionality and since we’re in the process of moving right now it’s going to take that much longer.
The end of the school year brings with it end of the year recitals. We don’t have any gymnastics videos this year but we do have a video of Elisabeth playing with the Bannockburn Elementary School Symphonetta. The symphonetta is made up almost entirely of third graders, which is the first year of orchestra at Bannockburn. In the clip below they play “Calypso.” At the end you can watch a related video in which they play “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.”
A few weeks ago I was asked to be the student speaker at a luncheon for the Kenneth Kantzer Society. This is a group of people who have made large donations to Trinity via some sort of planned giving and the luncheon was an expression of thanks from the University. The speakers included the president of the University (Dr. Carig Williford) on behalf of the administration, a professor (Dr. Perry Downs) on behalf of the faculty, and myself on behalf of the students. My job was to give a student’s perspective on how Trinity has impacted me and my ministry.
Our March, 2011 family and ministry update is now available. Of course it is now May, but I was holding off because I wanted to share the news of our departure in this edition. Besides that great news, I also have my first ever dissertation progress report and an update on Jana’s Music Together.
During the process of writing the dissertation I’m supposed to be turning in chapters for my advisor (first reader) to look over, comment on, request revision, etc. Because of the nature of my dissertation, I decided to complete chapters 1-4 (out of eight chapters) and submit them all at once. I submitted those chapter in early March and on Friday, April 29th I sat down with my advisor to hear his recommendations. This was a very important meeting for me because early in the writing process I decided to take a bit of a risk and I wasn’t sure it would pay off.
People are all the time asking us if Elisabeth and Max are excited about the move to Slovakia and all I usually have to say is the standard, “Uhhh, yes and no.” So I thought I’d do a short interview with them so you can hear just how they would answer themselves.
Yesterday I spent a good part of the day reading the Slovak law about visa requirements and searching for websites that could possibly help explain the process of applying for a visa.
It’s hard to believe we’ve been in the States for more than five years now. We’re looking forward to going back to Slovakia, but it’s nice to look back at some of the memories we’ve made. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I happened to have the video camera out one night when I had the kids to myself. This is a funny video buy of Elisabeth (3) and Max (2) talking about Dora and the Wiggles. |   |
