Changing of the Guard

I knew about it for a while before it actually became official, but my boss at The Storehouse has decided to take another position with a different non-profit in NYC. He will be with us through Easter, but then we're on our own, so to speak. It's kind of strange that just over a year ago I was still getting my World Vision "legs"...trying to make sense of all the acronyms and processes the organization uses. Things have really been moving pretty quickly the past couple of months in our attempts to start new programs and strengthen the ones already operating, but this past week (and the next month or so, it seems) it just kicked into overdrive. My boss was the one who opened up the NYC Storehouse and developed relationships that he is trying to hand over to me. It wouldn't be so bad, but with all the new stuff already on our plate... it's like eating an extra couple of helpings at Thanksgiving when you are already stuffed! If you think my posts have been sparse lately, get ready for a true dry spell...

Audio Greek New Testament

If you know me, then you know that at one point in my life I actually new the Greek New Testament pretty well. There have been many times that I thought I might dig my heels in and give it another go, knowing that it will take hours each week for months to reach any kind of proficiency. Well, I found the "answer" to my problem. As much driving as I do, I like to listen to audio books and lectures (I know I'm a dork, it's no secret). So, I was looking around at an old favorite website - Christian Classics Ethereal Library - and ran across (drumroll please....) an audio version of the Westcott & Hort Greek New Testament. Now before you get too excited, keep in mind this is not the UBS IV or the Nestle-Aland 27, but not a bad text. If you have the time, it's actually kind of fun...just need to brush up on that vocab!
