Just Trying To Get By

I've been a bit stressed lately. The semester has come down to the last two days. I've got one more paper that I am in the middle of finishing. I haven't quite decided on a title, but at this point I'm going with: "How Does Paul Read Seed(s)?: A Study on Galatians 3." I'm not sure I like that, but we'll see...

Some of you may know that the seed promise of Genesis 3:15 has been my focus of research for over a year now. I've produced about 40 pages of material tracing the "seed" theme, particularly in light of paralleling genealogies, through the Old (and now, part of the New) Testaments. It is so exciting to be working on a paper that contributes to a subject that I have thoroughly enjoyed studying for a while now. I'm so fascinated by the Apostle Paul's use of the Scripture(s) in Galatians 3, specifically 3:16 and 3:29. I believe he was giving a correct reading of Genesis...exactly WHERE in Genesis is the question...but I'm not going to reveal my answer just yet :). Perhaps I'll post a link to the paper when I'm done for those interested in reading it. And of course, if you ever would like electronic or hard copies of the work I've done, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm sure I'll be able to breath easier in about 36 hours. Until then, my brain is at work. I hope you're enjoying this Christmas season. I'll write more later.
