That I should do. I guess I have a too strongly developed sense of MYOB.

May he rest in peace! Glad you finally decided to stop and talk, now tell us about someone else on your route! You learned from Larry and I would say he learned from Gene, nice trait to have.

One reason so many of us have trouble memorizing Scripture is the proliferation of translations. I started out with KJV, then RSV, the NIV, and now ESV, which will no doubt be my last.

I love that verse too! I’ll hold you to it dad… I had years of listening to verses my kids had to memorize.. so you’re next! What goes around comes around. I have a hard time memorizing too.. somehow paraphrasing doesn’t count does it?!

Hi Kyle,

What do you think Jesus means by his “yoke.” I have heard that it means sharing our burdens with Him, but the note in my ESV for Mt 11:29 says that rather than referring to the wooden thingy connecting two oxen, it was “a metaphor for one person’s subjection to another, a common metaphor in Judaism for the law.” So it’s more like comparing the yoke of discipleship to being slaves to the Pharisaic interpretation of the law.

I like Jesus’ burden better.
