June 30, 2008. Today Bill Gates retires from Microsoft. Today I retire from Master’s. He goes to improve the world. I go to improve myself. He goes to spend lots of money. I am going to spend lots of money. Microsoft will be different when he leaves. Master’s will be different when I return. <\/p>\n
When I was in high school, my parents bought me the NIV Study Bible<\/a>. I used it faithfully through college and have always regarded it as the best study Bible, even though I don’t usually carry it around because of its size. I like the translation, but what sets this study Bible apart are the notes, which are relevant and helpful. Some study Bibles have notes that don’t answer the questions that I have. This fall two new study Bibles are coming out, and you can compare the contributors of the notes in this handy chart<\/a> at Rejoice Software. It won’t help much if you aren’t familiar with the scholars in the field. Another study Bible at the top of the class is the NET Bible<\/a>, though this is more appreciated by those with some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek.<\/p>\n This blog will not become a political zone, but if I see articles I think are worth reading, I may mention them here. This column<\/a> in the JPost tells some things about McCain that you may not know. This article<\/a> in the Washington Post argues why a McCain win would be dangerous for the Supreme Court (but you can read it the other way).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 30, 2008.
