Here I stand

I have just created a blog and all I really wanted to do was post to someone else's. Hmmm
So this will be short and sweet. Maybe. Really don't have time to write anything. I just finished reading Christ the lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice. It was an amazing book to read. And of course is stirring up all kinds of issues. The librarian gave me this "well I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole" look when I explained just a bit about it. I was moved, learned alot about Jewish culture and family life, got a little bit into what, how Jesus might have thought as a young boy (understanding of course that this is a work of fiction). Although yes, the Scriptures are totally sufficient, reading this flavors my understanding of the times of Christ. I appreciated Ms. Rice's afterword and explanation of her process of undertaking and researching this book as well. Guess that is all.
