Lost in Translation

Not too much unusual or exciting has been happening in our lives lately. Studies continue, and they're going well. I taught a lesson last week on Bible translations in Spanish. Interesting stuff. The Reina-Valera 1960 Bible is the most common Bible used by non-Catholics in Latin America. I personally tend to prefer the 1995 update to that Bible because it's essentially the same Bible without as many archaic words and with better Spanish grammar. I was floored to hear that some people (King James only people) say that pastors who use the Reina-Valera 1960 are heretics. Wow, these issues make no sense to me. While we argue about what translation is best, more people die without knowing Christ as Savior.

We purchased tickets to return to the States on Dec. 20 and fly to Bogota Jan. 10.

I've been trying to think of a new name for this blog; probably something in Spanish that gives the essence of the blog. Nada se me ocurre en este momento (Nothing occurs to me right now).

Here's a nice meditation on Proverbs 18:13 for anyone interested:
