I own a NIV Student Bible, and I like the language. It's very heavy, so I don’t carry it with me anywhere. But in my Bible app there are 67 English translations! 😃😆 It's impossible to know what to pick. But I would avoid old translations (even if yhey would be theologically "perfect") because I want to learn contemporary language. (If I need to make exegetical studies on some topic I can do it in my mother tongue Swedish).
For all who need it! It might not always be a physical abandonment, but parents not capable of loving and nurturing their children properly.
We had a beautiful day today. Now it's already raining... But it gives hope that we will have winter soon. Snow is much needed on this latitude where it's so dark this time of the year.
A ninja sooner than I thought! 😀 Am I playing with the tough guys now?
During three seasons I can walk the stairs and during winter ski down this small hill, that is only a 5 min bikeride (or 15 min walk) from home.
Trying to catch some sunlight at 3 PM right before sunset. The days will get shorter until winter solstice December 21. Not my favorite time of the year before the ground is getting white. Sunny days like today are more of an exception since Nov use to be quite rainy.
The difference between right and almost right... Or like they @sinbach say in the BTJ podcast jingle "Even the devil will speak the truth for some purposes."
Good morning! Breakfast outdoors made on the campfire is wonderful. And the birds are singing in November! I didn’t sleep much (read my last post), but I feel refreshed after breathing fresh air all night.
I've been trying to fall asleep for 3 hrs in a sleeping bag in the middle of a dark forest together with ten other persons in a tent. It's close to zero degrees celsius outside, but we have a stove with a chimney in the tent, so it's warm. This might sound a little crazy, but in my age living a middle class life I don't want to get too comfortable, so I need to challenge myself. My grandparents were fighting the mighty Soviet army in The Winter War during WW2, in record cold winter with -40°C, to protect the independence of Finland. There are not many hardships that can be compared to that.
