Spiros Zodhiates' original NASB Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible on the left (dark cover) has served me well over the last thirty-plus years since I originally bought it some time during bible college. The publisher has since then, over the years, created the format in other translations and updated the title (it's now called the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible); and yesterday I finally put down the 55 bucks and ordered the ESV since that's the version most churches here have moved to. The margins are wider; the Hebrew and Greek Strong's Dictionaries and lexical aids from the first iteration have been merged into an annotated Strong's Dictionary with type that is much easier to read and the concordance has been updated for the newer translation. Otherwise it looks practically the same—important words are numbered using Strong's system, Greek verbs are shown with their parsings (tense, voice, mood).

With The Complete Biblical Library long out of print and now only available at significant cost as part of Logos Software's walled garden environment, this is a really good resource for biblical language junkies like me.

8:00 PM and heading to bed because there’s nothing else to do tonight and I don’t want to deal with the cattle run out of the parks at closing time (happens when the fireworks are the same time as park closing).

The world truly did not deserve you, nor did you deserve what it did to you. The years ago, what was supposed to be “Happily Ever After” for both of us ended with quiet finality and the only choice left was to let you go.

Someone like you who loved with everything is what I will never have again.

Made the mistake of going out barefoot onto the parking lot outside after the Florida sun had been baking it the entire day, and burning my feet as a result. That circled red area was a giant blood blister until this morning when I tried to do some grocery shopping. Looked down as I was standing in the kitchen afterward and saw my sock saturated and a puddle on the kitchen floor after it had ruptured.
