Rereading the Bible Bible List

New year, new me! Right? Wrong. This year is all about developing the plans I started last year. So it might be new year, old me! For this first part of the New Year I’m going to focus on re-reading the Bible. I’m starting a self-written plan inspired by a Youtube Video I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uIXzUEwrOg The video took a good look at the data and created a timeline on when specific parts of the Bible were written. The bible is a multigenerational written document, so it makes sense that some portions were written well before others. So my reading plan is simple. I’m going to try to follow the order list as close as possible. I am including some of the apocrypha in this rereading. The following is the order in which I’m going to start my reading on: Proverbs Psalms Amos Hosea Genesis Exodus Leviticus First Part of Isaiah Micah Deuteronomy Joshua Judges 1 & 2 Samuel 1 & 2 Kings Zephaniah Numbers Nahum Habakkuk Jeremiah Obadiah Lamentations Ezekiel Zechariah Ha...

Chasing Dopamine?

The temperature dropped a tiny bit today, but it was still super humid. I know this because my joints creaked a tiny bit extra when I stepped wrong. So of course, me being me, I rewatched the video from the last post.




Here's the thing. I know certain foods are better than others. I've read the data, I see the vitamins and minerals listed like a good kid. But turmeric? I have never been able to incorporate it as a food item. But why? I love curry. But, I don't eat curry every day.

Cue in my new concoction. Green tea with turmeric tea. Now, it would be easy to add tumeric spice into the tea bag. I haven't done the math yet to see which is cheaper (or tastier). But I have just brew a regular cup of hot water and the two tea bags (one green tea and one turmeric tea).

What is this super concoction supposed to do? Well, taste good. Second, it's supposed to make me feel better because of all the brain chemicals. There's very little data to support that, so it all could be a placebo effect. A very yummy one.

What I’m really chasing is a connection to my indegenous Mexican ancestors who foraged plants for medicine. I am hoping to recover and reclaim some of their liturgical practices. I am hoping that by rejuvenating these practices, I can get closer to God and God’s people. At least that’s the dream.
