Ray, I'm having the time of my life. The best part of the seminar is the material on Ecclesiastes (aka Qoheleth). It's wonderful, oft neglected stuff. That book can preach! We need to get together soon.

I would love to get together... I love to preach the Old Testament -- much of which is oft neglected...

Today I preached on Ben-Oni vs. Ben-Yamin in Genesis 35... A fantastic picture of the redemptive story...
