THE BIBLE!!!

I'm learning a lot about it here. Its and interesting experience studying it while also studying history and sociology. It creates an interesting lens to look at it through.

In response to these thoughts i have actually written about 4 different "blogs" trying to describe them. When after writng them i always realize 3 things.

1. This thing is long! Even I don't want to read it.

2. Mike you are a preachy self righteous bastard. Seriously, who do you think you are.

3. My ramblings on these things are confusing at best.

and so i quickly erase them and come to this conclusion,

Scripture is big. Not so much big in a size sense (though it is) i mean big in a meaning sense. It cuts to a very deep core of reality and truth and takes lives and even generations to dig through and fully discover. Which seems right if it's talking about a real God over simplicity for the sake of easy consumption just wouldn't cut it. And fully understanding it would take time and effort and some real wrestling.

If i can't express these things i'm thinking about in a concise and understandable manner, i'm missing something, and need to wrestle with it some more.
