Deuteronomy

I have a strict schedule for my arguments project this year, but unfortunately I got a couple of days behind right at the start with the Israel return and illness.  This past week I’ve been working on Deuteronomy, but when I woke up this morning I had not written any of my argument proper (I had finished my outline and another section).  I was threatened with the possibility of getting another day behind, with no hope of catching up, ever.  So I kept my seat in the chair from 8 to 6 and wrote through the entire book.   I have about an hour of clean-up to do, but I think I ‘ll make it so that I can wake up in the morning fresh to tackle Joshua.

For a break, I thought I’d take a look at how my writing looks in Wordle.  If you don’t know, Wordle makes a word cloud based upon the frequency of word use.  Thus a larger word was used more times.  Here’s how my 21 pages look:

Then I thought I’d see what the book of Deuteronomy itself looks like.  Naturally they ‘ll come out differently, as, to use one example, Deuteronomy never uses the word “Deuteronomy.”  I use the word “covenant” a lot, but the idea is implicit throughout the book.  There may be some other interesting differences, but my break time is over.
