Boring or Exciting?
On my About Word page, I wrote that I started this project because the Bible has always seemed boring to me. However, that’s not entirely true. When I was younger there were a couple things in the Bible that, although boring to most, really intrigued me—the maps at the back and the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke.
There was always something cool about those genealogies. They seemed like much more than just a list of dads. Through his genealogy, Luke covers the entire human history up to that point, presents Jesus as having divine ancestry but also reveals him to be just another dude with a dad. All in a single chapter. That is some impressive communication.
How about you? Are there “boring-to-most-people” parts of the Bible that you really like?
Sorry, Most of You are Losers
Thanks to all the folks who entered to win a free Word print last week. After collecting all the entries, I’m sorry to say that most of you are losers (but just in this contest, not in life). I’ll be notifying the 3 winners shortly and they’ll each receive a free 16×20 Word print.
If you missed out on that freebie and want to make sure you catch the next giveaway, make sure to follow me on Twitter or my Facebook page. Those are the spots I’ll most frequently update when there are giveaways or sales.

I really enjoy the book of Leviticus, while it is a whole book based on rules there is something strangely excited and intriguing about it to me.
Personally, I’ve never been able to get into Leviticus, but I like hearing from people that do.
I always loved the weird stuff in the minor prophets, and in Revelation it’s all back again.
As difficult as it was designing through the minor prophets, I do appreciate them more now.
The book of Job if one of my favorites. God’s speech at the end is enough to put any bad day, week, or year in perspective. Plus, I love the bits of sarcastic humor that appear once in a while.
Thanks for sharing your work. It’s so refreshing to see art/design by a Christian that isn’t just a retread. And that you’re using it as a personal meditation is cool, too.
Thanks, Jana. I’m glad you like it!

I want to post some of the to my tumblr is there a way to do that?
Hey Nehemiah: Honestly, I’m not sure how to do that. I don’t have a Tumblr account and am not sure exactly how it works. I’d recommend searching the Tumblr help section, assuming they have one.
