One week into Greek and we have one quiz behind us and are studying for the second as I take a few minutes to write this in my blog. Poor Michael's Almanac also comments on this. I found a greek font in my Microsoft Word and it has proved to be very accurate so far. The only thing is that I can't put accents over the letter. I do have another program that uses Koine Greek and allows accent and breathing marks on letters.

Hopefully the second quiz on Tuesday will not be too difficult and of course if I study properly it should be easy (shh don't tell Dr. Gieschen I said that) Pray for us Greek geeks that we are able to learn the language as well as have fun with it.

God Bless!

Class for Summer Greek began today. It is finally here! Praise God!

Lord God, Heavenly Father, bless this time of studying your word in it's original language. Guide me to an understanding of your word so that one day I may use it to teach all nations as you have commanded.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour
Amen.

God help me I am only 10 days away from becoming a full-fledged Seminarian. Summer Greek begins on the 12th and there is so much happening between then and now. This weekend we move into our new home in Fort Wayne (yeah no more hotel) . This is not an experience I would wish on anyone for too long a time. One month has me stir crazy and my kids have been bouncing off the walls.

It is fitting and proper that I named this blog "The Spirit is Willing; the flesh is weak." Right now my flesh is very weak and I need a Spiritual Booster shot this weekend. Since we are not likely to attend church on Sunday morning because of the move, we will likely have to find a church that will be doing communion on Saturday night. Next week will have me unpacking boxes and putting stuff away. This will be a daunting task.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers through out this next week as we get settled in our new house. Also keep my wife in your prayers that her patience will not run out with her employer.
