Distracted

So I've been reading the Old Testament lately, and I find myself distracted all the time. Why? Because of the footnotes. It seems like every page in one of the footnotes gives at least one Hebrew translation.

This may sound strange, but hear me out.

In the footnotes Hebrew translations are shown as HEB followed by the translation.

The only grocery store in San Antonio (besides Walmart, Target, and places like Whole Foods) is called HEB.

As I read the scriptures all I can do is think about the grocery store. I told Chris this last night and he looked like I was ridiculous, but then he laughed.

So you can say that the scriptures make you hungry. They make you want to feast upon the word. ;-D

That store is awesome! They run a summer reading program where they give away t-shirts. They didn't say it had to be in Texas, so we sent in our paperwork and they mailed us t-shirts all the way to Utah!

HEB huh? Is that QFC? I know what QFC stands for but I'm stumped on HEB. :)

HEB is either... the initials of the man who started it, or it stands for "Here Everything's Better" depending on who you ask... I go with Here Everything's Better rather than Howard E. Butts. :)

And having experiences HEB with you, I can see why it would distract you from Deuteronomy! (or whatever!)

That is hilarious. Now that is the only thing I will think when I read the Old Testament.
