Another One?

Yes--I keep coming up with things that I think I ought to turn into more serious blog posts over on pastorcynthia.blogspot.com (otherwise known as "Someday Soon"). Most of the time, these revelations occur during my study days when I'm in the library or at one of my coffee-house "offices". My study notes are littered with the words BLOG THIS! because I think somehow I'm going to remember to go back and write a nice little blog post on my immediate thoughts.

But stuff keeps coming up that really doesn't require much thought--it's just interesting. It pertains to the text I'm using for the sermon, and if I was preaching for 30-45 minutes, I would probably work it in. Otherwise, it's just a wonderful other exercise for my theological imagination.

I think there are probably a few other exegetical "geeks" out there...or at least people who want to be stretched to think differently about a passage. I took the title for this blog from something a rabbi once told me. He said that he loves thinking about heaven as the place where scripture is written one word on a page...and he has eternity to learn what God is saying "in between" each of the words.

It's my hope that the posts here help you to go just a bit deeper--or maybe take you down a side road you hadn't thought of. That they show you scripture is vital and packed and goes much deeper than a couple of illustrations can measure. I hope that these tidbits become the place for your musings with God--the sermons that you will compose in your own head between the ones you hear (or preach!) on Sundays.
