Now Greek doesn't "sound too Greek" to me anymore (haha!). It's beginning to make sense.

Studying the Biblical Languages (Hebrew in 2009 and currently, Greek) is one of the most unexpected, yet one of the most awesome blessings that God has given me! :-)I just finished another afternoon of Greek class earlier today... and while my brain is super mushy, I find that my heart is super happy! :-)
(oh and my tummy gets super hungry after 2 1/2 hours of lessons & exercises!) :-)
It's not just the challenge of learning a new language that gets my adrenalin going... but the prospect of someday being able to read and understand all the original Biblical texts... gosh, this just fires me up! :-)
Buuut... I have quite a ways to go in this journey (for both languages, which I am striving to learn simultaneously -- one inside and the other outside the classroom!). I have tons of vocabulary words to commit to memory... tons of conjugations, declensions, subject-verb / noun-adjective agreements, parsing and ultimately, translating to do :-)
However, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow (for lack of a more creative line -- like I said, my brain is mush right now)... I am certain that it will all be worth it.
Baruch Hashem! ( "Blessed be the Name" or "Blessed be God") :-)
