James 24:7

In my last post I wrote that I had "paraphrased" Psalm 71.  That's not accurate.  I am not a Greek or a Hebrew scholar.  I am a pastor who enjoys studying texts of scripture and who relies on real scholars to provide direction.  "Paraphrase" is too strong.  The little riffs I did on Psalm 71 and 73 are just that...my takes on what I take away in my pastoral studies. 

Just wanted to be clear about that. 

Eugene Peterson does paraphrases.  I just 'riff.'

Having said that, here is a little piece I discovered on the Internet after I 'riffed' on Psalm 71. 

Read my riff and then read this.

I thought you might enjoy it.
