Levitical Adventures

I'm in the process of chronologically working my way through that sweet, sweet book we know as the Bible.

This is to be a Summer of Biblical Fun. Or, more specifically, the School of Biblical Foundations. I'm helping Brent and Foster run this school for three really quality guys who are taking three months of their life to dive into these pages.

Right now, though, I'm wading through text like, "the priest will wring the bird's neck without severing the head from the body." As much as I find verses like this one completely applicable to the season I currently find myself in...

(That was a joke.)

No really, though, I feel as though I've entered a realm of new-found fascination for this...book. If I can even classify it as such anymore. My brain is exploding with questions! I love the subtle sarcasm that the NLT attributes to God's tone when the situation can so contain it. I can't get enough of the little discoveries of revelation that surface along the way. I find safety in the discipline I'm pleasantly surprised to find myself walking in.

And yet, in the same moment, I feel as though this is the surface. I feel like deep in the depths of my heart, the waters are stirring. And here enters the understanding in my heart that is beyond description. Suffice to say, there is unfinished business in my soul, and I dare to believe that the newness might translate to every corner and crevice of who I am.

"And, scene."
