Loosening the strings

I decided this morning (it is 1:15 am here) to loosen things up a bit. You would not have noticed unless you read all the way back to the end of the first post, but I deleted the email address for responses. I also turned commenting off on the blog.

So, if you know of someone you want to invite to read any of this, you can give them the link without me knowing who they are and without them knowing who we are.

I don't care who reads it. Just don't want to hear from disagreeing people. I don't really care what others think of what gets written here. It is an exercise for myself, after all. And I am not inviting comment except from the original ones I invited. I may invite more, but in that case I will give them the email address.

Cool? No one's feelings hurt? Hope not. If you would want to include someone whose comments you would like to hear, you can either ask me if they can have the email address, or give them yours.

I recently was given a book I had not heard of before but has so captivated me I can't even get to bed even though I seriously need to.

It is titled, "How to Read the Bible" by James L. Kugel. Powerful stuff. And it is answering a million plus questions I have had about the ancient biblical text and questions all Christians and Jews should be asking as well.

I'll comment more on it as I get further. Only been reading about an hour and a half so far.
