Relief

I finally finished our Genesis 1 class! And on time! I got really behind (like 2 months) because of the tremendous amount of stuff I didn't understand very well.... like quantum physics (oi!)... and if I don't understand well enough to explain it to anyone, then I don't like answering the essay questions halfway... you can see the spiral! But I buckled down and got 11 weeks done in 3! And finished the final last night. Just in time for Christmas!

Whew! Now I might actually get our Christmas cards completed!

My coming Monday

Guess which one I'm more excited about?

** Our new KI class is starting... Joel/Israeli Eschatology

or

** Going to the dentist for the first time in five years?

Playing Catch Up...

I finally caught up, just in time to be done :-) I finished my last two posts in our Galatians class, quickly took the final, and now our Revelation 2 class starts Monday! My goal is simply not to be laxadaisy in getting these posts done on time- while I still get the good grade I desire, I miss out on a lot of exchange and fellowship.

Last night at work I listened through the first hour of our next class, and had some treasures to share. I may have posted these before, but I just adore them. I love the details the Spirit has included in Scripture... the parallels, the types. It is simply amazing, each one laying another brick on my foundation of faith...

Types in the Book of Ruth
Boaz: Goel, the Kinsman Redeemer; must be a kinsman, must be able to perform, must be willing, and must assume all obligations
Naomi: Israel
Ruth: Gentile Bride

Observations from the Book of Ruth
* In order to bring Ruth to Naomi, Naomi had to be displaced from her land.
* What the Law could not do, Grace did. (Boaz marrying a gentile woman)
* Ruth does not replace Naomi.
* Ruth learns of Boaz's ways through Naomi.
* Naomi meets Boaz through Ruth.
* No matter how much Boaz loved Ruth, he had to wait for her move.
* Boaz, not Ruth, confronts the nearer kinsman.

Aren't those rich?

...And is laxadaisy a real word?
