And so it goes....

Okay, first of all, I DID PASS my chanting final (pays to pick the text you know from worship, eh?), and I am now back to being at least tri-lingual. The Hebrew exam has passed (and so have I) but there are translations and papers to do. Tonight I'm working with Greek again, oh joy! Important things to remember:

1) We read Greek text from left-to-right
2) We read Hebrew text from right-to-left
3) We must not confuse these two things lest our translations of Scripture be the source of much ribbing by classmates
4) It is really, really, really important to have Accordance Bible Software on the laptop, yea Apple computers!

A lot has happened lately, Lorice's great aunt (and she was a "great aunt" who was a pen pal for Lorice for years) died at 82 after not ever (as far as we know) seeing a doctor. She had massive amounts of cancer in her liver and such. She was a sweet lady even at the end. We promised to care for her cat (code name Speedy) and so we brought the cat home to our house where we promptly learned that Speedy had feline aids. For the record, we kept Speedy in isolation for fear of just this thing. So, the vet recommended putting Speedy to rest, which we did, to the tune of $200. So, we go back to the house from whence we procured Speedy only to meet a neighbor out front who said, "you might see my cat in the house, Louise (aunt's name) kept him in there and fed him, just boot him back outside when you find him." ((gulp)) Lorice was able to keep her poker face. How the heck do you tell someone 1) your cat had feline aids 2) we promised to take care of the cat for a dying woman 3) we paid $200 for the privledge of killing your cat ????

So, now we are waiting for the official okee-dokee before going back to the house and cleaning it out. Perhaps I'll post some pictures one day soon, just for your enjoyment.

Until next time, have a super groovy day. :o)
