he finally returns

i'm back.

sorry about the long absence.

verse 56

"then all the disciples cut and ran."

i don't think that needs any expounding.

at the very beginning of this chapter, Judas comes to his sense and returns the money. the pharisees response fascinates me. they realize the wrongness of what they're doing and try to cover it up by using the money for a good purpose. what a weird understanding of God. that you can somehow appease him with good works in one area, when your actions in another area suck. hmm.


in other news...Lent begins on Wednesday. and for Lent i'm going to join with my friend, austin (www.biblereaders.co.nr) in reading through the Bible. this might seem like somewhat of an audacious quest from a man who just missed an entire week of dLog, but i also know that the larger the challenge, the better i tend to respond. and when i look at my life, i get a lot of sleep & take a lot of breaks. and when i look at what i did to myself in college, i realize that i definitely have some flex right now that i could exploit for a task such as this. so wednesday...here comes something. i will finish matt tomorrow, so that i may commence with the entire book of Genesis on Wednesday. hmm...it took me a month to finish matt. this could get interesting.
