Thanks for your thoughtful and encouraging words Tim :)

So does this mean if I call you a bunch of times it automatically adds a bunch of tasks to your RTM list? Hmmmmm

Trying to understand the New Testament without reference to the Old is like trying to understand Lost when you start watching at Season 3 and don't have anyone around to explain things to you.

Nice work my friend. I'll be referring back to this one.

Thanks for your careful and encouraging words David (Smith) :).

Sounds great Tommy. I look forward to it.

Huh! I didn't realize I was using something so hot off the presses today. Thanks!

Here's a comment from Keri, which she had to email to me because the comment function wasn't working at the time:

I have been reading through the chronological Bible this year and most recently have been in Jeremiah and Ezekiel. I love how the chronological Bible takes apart the prophets and books of Kings/chronicles to put them all in historical order and dividing the messages to Judah and to Israel – it has been SO helpful. But more than that, just last night I was reading Jeremiah 33:17-18 and it struck me how Jeremiah is proclaiming that the eternal King is coming and that he will be from the line of David, and also that there will not cease to be a Levitical priest. I had never really seen that passage before, but it so clearly points to Christ as king and as priest. And in reading Ezekiel, it’s such a weird book and so graphic in parts, but I kept noticing that (I think) the bottom line is just God wanting to show how holy he is and how much our sin disgusts him. All that to say – I really appreciated your post. I am really gaining a lot by reading about the Israelites’ “long journey.”

On a related note, here's a great little piece by David Powlison on what our relationships with our spouses and others reveals about our relationship with God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNzlTcRie3U

Awesome! Thanks SO much for taking the time to think about and articulate that! I hope the exercise was a blessing to you and blesses other readers as it did me. Feel free to come back and add anything else you think of as you continue to think about these things.
