i logged my longest time spent on the bible today yet...

it's something past 5 hours... total(counting the increments together).

on one chapter... hebrews 9.

i love-hate reading hebrews, because paul goes SO MUCH MORE in depth than the other epistles, and you get deep stuff. for instance, hebrews 9 explains the definition of a testator and a testament, and why it's important in forming the new testament(and if you think about their implications, why it's important having God's words PRECISELY and not trying to mistranslate them all around, which is why we have all these kjv-only and etc debates). it also explains why Jesus Christ only needed to die once rather than multiple times, something which, when i still think about sometimes, continues to boggle me, though it's boggled me less today after my studies. which is again, love-hate because i love how much he breaks stuff down, until i realize i'm still trying to write my 1st notes on the book on a word document, meaning i spend so much time cross-referencing books, hoping that the word searches i punch into e-sword come up with the right verses i'm looking for.

but it's ok; i only have 4 more chapters left of hebrews. then again, revelations isn't too many chapters away. i might have to do some love-hate again real soon.

got tony hawk pro skater 2 and tomb raider 2 at fry's(yes, they do sell them new, you gotta look hard at the cpu games section to find sections for old games) last saturday for a grand total of 8-9 dollars. tony hawk 2: 2:90, tomb raider 2: 5-ish. i love liking old games rather than new ones, because then i can score good bargains like this and feel pretty good about it too. the only comparable bargain in video games compared to tony hawk 2 for 3 dollars was when i got virtua fighter 4 evolution for 10 at best buy. good runners up was phil giving me virtua fighter 2 + last bronx for the pc for 20, and of course, me getting jedi knight: dark forces 2 for 10. i've thought it over and over, and it's the truth: graphics in a video game are overrated. seriously overrated. gameplay matters more. both games are great and run well on my laptop. but tony hawk 2 especially is great, mainly because there's tons to do.
