I finished reading “Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus–Volume One” by Michael Brown just a few minutes ago. It covered what Dr. Brown titled “General and Historical Objections” and was (trying not to be hyperbolic) enlightening, to say the least. I am now moving on to Volume Two which covers Theological Objections. I can only hope that the second volume will be as good as the first. If nothing more, my improved understanding of my place as a gentile in the spiritual ecosystem God created is very, very helpful to me in my understanding of how to worship better and to advocate for Jews and gentiles both.
Day: February 11, 2024
Lorena is on day 2 of her watercolor painting ambition. It is kind of amazing that this is only her second watercolor. She plans to go through this same video tutorial a couple more times before she moves on to another. Not a bad plan. In addition to doing a painting per day, her plan is to save all of these paintings and write the date and the chapters she read in the Bible for that day. I am wildly optimistic that she is going to be very, very good at this over time. I really do not want her to give up on her pottery wheel ambitions to just do watercolors, but I am very impressed with her watercolor skills. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.
