I don’t know about you, but I am really tired of the cold weather.  At least the wind isn’t sweeping down the plain.  Nobody can match Oklahoma for wind.

I’ve been reading the letters that Peter wrote.  It is interesting the different styles of the New Testament writers.  I know the Bible is inspired by God, but the men who wrote the books are identifiable by their writing style.  Or women?  The book, “A Conspiracy of Breath” by Latayne Scott approaches Hebrews from a possible female direction.  

I still haven’t figured out who wrote Hebrews.  I know what all of the scholars say, but they haven’t figured it out either.  It doesn’t fit any of the other styles in the New Testament and has a soft tone.

Of course, Paul has the most educated, elite, Jewish approach.  He studied at the feet of the most brilliant educator of his day while he was growing up.  John has a more loving approach.  And then there is Luke.  Precise.  As a doctor, he wants the exact prescription when he speaks.  It doesn’t matter who your favorite is.  We just need to read God’s word.  And read. We have to have a habit or we won’t get it done.  You will plan on it....but....
