Historic

This past weekend I attended the inaugural symposium of the Academy for Temple Studies.  Sunday night, I got invited to a behind-the-scenes pilot meeting with an astonishing array of talent, including several people who are my personal heroes.  Here's Dan Peterson's blog post.  I felt like I was the dog that someone had forgotten to put out, sitting on a chair in the living room, amazed at being treated like one of the humans and wondering how long it could last.  I'm a big, loud, brash guy, and I felt humbled.

Back!

Ha!  Life takes you by surprise.

The otherwise really excellent site we've been posting to for four months has apparently suffered Death by Server Failure.  That's sad, but I'm going to take it as an occasion to move in a new direction.

Starting tomorrow, I'll begin brief daily postings again on this site.  I think they'll change slightly in character.  I'll report on my reading, but I'll try to make just a single daily observation about what I read, or something else in the Scriptures (I think I won't have the time to do more).

Also, starting now, the site is open to the public.  This is an experiment, and if it doesn't work, I reserve the right to go back to a more private format.
