Sarah and I finally had a date after a very hectic past couple of months. With schedules not working out too well to do much of anything to just being so tired that the thought of getting off the comfort of the couch would bring us to our knees. Still we managed to get ourselves ready to go on this particular day and get out of the house.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are in town at Union Station, Sarah has been asking to go and see them so i deiced to take her. We both had a blast. It was so cool to, one - spend the whole day with her, and two - see the scrolls. It was such an awesome experience to see the oldest know manuscripts of the Bible, right there in front of my face. It was moving.
I have changed so much, never before would i have cried at the sight of an ancient writing of the Bible, but this exhibit brought me to tears. Knowing that the same words that i look at today for teaching are the same words that people centuries before me looked at for their teachings. To see an excerpt of the Psalms, and Genesis, and Isaiah was awesome. The words seemed to come alive and no longer were they just something that i purchased from a massive Christian book retail store. They had weight and meaning. Someone took the time to write these words out so that i can have them today. This was truly an eye opening experience for me and Sarah both. It was so good.
