I haven’t done much running in the last few years, but today was such a great summer day (sunny and 70s) that it was begging for a run. Luke and Mark came along as they have before, but this time Mark wanted to run with me (not ride his bike alongside). He didn’t make it all the way (about to the turkey coops on the way to Neve Ilan, for those of you who know), and stopped with a wail. That’s a good memory for me to keep, as I expect one day I’ll be huffing and puffing to keep up with him.<\/p>\n
One thing I’m working on this summer is on the life of Paul. I have this idea that a really popular college level course would be the “Life and Letters of Paul”, even though I’ve never seen such a course offered at any of the schools I’ve studied or taught at. In any case, one thing I learned today was that Epaphras and Epaphroditus are two different helpers of Paul. Not sure that I ever caught that before. Test your Bible knowledge – do you know which is which? (For one see Phil 2 and 4; for the other see Col 1, 4 and Philemon).<\/p>\n
Last night we went on a family outing in search of a new grill (unsuccessful). Along the way, we stopped at McDonalds. For $15 you get 4 kids hamburgers and 1 value meal. But they still have super size here. Your choice of regular, big, or anak<\/em>. Bible students remember the anakim<\/em> as the giants who roamed the land before the Israelites. I ordered anak<\/em>!<\/p>\n A new BiblePlaces Newsletter went out today. Take a look at it here<\/a> if you haven’t seen it already.
