Off topic

Friends. I am going to be taking the summer off from blogging. I will start back up in September. Thank you for all the feedback and questions you have sent me this year, I am going to focus on finishing the second edition of Greek for the Rest of Us, with three set of videos, and hopefully also a book I have been writing for some years for new believers. See you in September. --Bill

I have something that is more of a personal reflection I want to share today. Greek will be back next week.

I am in Bowling Greek visiting my folks. My son Hayden was missing playing golf with his grandpa, and I had a free air ticket; so we flew here for the weekend.

I heard some really discouraging and sobering news the other day, and I wanted to take a break from Greek instruction to share it with you.

A friend of mine just left the ministry. This is a young man who felt the call of the Lord, and committed his undergraduate education to Biblical Studies. His wife and he made an additional commitment to go to seminary, a decision that involved major sacrifice on their part. It was interesting, they said, to live with all the hookers in their town. But the rent was cheap.
