Science is a Wherry
When I first began this blog, I did not anticipate that my struggles with my health and my diet were going to be quite as extreme as they have been. Neither did I expect the Bible Study effort to be so all-consuming. Do not get me wrong. I fully anticipated that both of these aspects were going to be exceedingly difficult to handle, yet they both turned out to be far greater challenges than I expected.
I knew that the battle with my gastrointestinal affliction was going to be exceedingly difficult. After all, I have been battling with this affliction for 20 years. I knew that it was going to be insanely difficult, but I had no clue that, in the process, I would be uncovering this long-standing body-fluid balance issue. The whole situation has been a huge surprise to me. It is an incredibly complex problem, and it is not a situation that can be resolved quickly by any means.
With the Bible study, it just never occurred to me that the beginning of the Scofield Bible would contain so many comments to grapple with, as well as comments of such complexity and depth. With the Scofield Study Bible, well over 10% of all the comments in the entire Bible are contained in the book of Genesis. Moreover, some of the most complex and comprehensive comments that Dr. Scofield includes in his Bible are situated in the first half of the book of Genesis. Therefore, the effort to produce these Bible studies, here at the beginning, has been about three times as great as what I anticipated.
As a result, I have had no choice but to completely neglect the care and feeding of my blog, and, more importantly, I have not been able to focus my attention on you as I feel that I should. As I stated in my most recent blog post, “The Waiting Drives Me Crazy,” God has let me face these difficulties for very definite purposes. There are reasons why these difficulties have come about, and they are very good reasons. Furthermore, they are all reasons that need to be explained; however, I cannot explain them to you until you understand more about the quest itself.
