CHOOSE SCRIPT NOT SILICON

Text. Script. Trusted Hard Copy.
Whatever one wants to call the old tried and true way to research, my recommendation is to hold on to that, especially when doing Bible Study.
Certainly the computer can aid in that study but DO NOT COUNT ON SIRI!
Siri is NOT always the answer. Siri is silicon. (Even she knows that!)

Siri's first response to my "word study"request was, I do NOT eschew theological disquisitions.    
How's that for a mouthful---or screen full---just wish I had gotten a selfie of me sitting with my mouth agape and Siri's response in full view.
I did get a screen shot of the next one, though not nearly as complex!
My policy should be that as well---don't count on Siri to answer life's REAL questions.
So...back to basics---my "good ole Strong's concordance." Works ever time I choose to take the time and not be lazy. 
Strong's Concordance certainly helped me to get to the heart of the matter! (Psalm 43:3, Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12)

Dig to Discover

Spiritual Goal for 2015---Pleasing God.

Lots of digging required. Patience. Persistence. Protection. Fellowship, maybe. Relationship strengthened.

May I be as diligent to discover what pleases God as John Parker and Andrew are to discover fossils in the clay. 
Obviously, the appropriate tools are important when digging is required.
Sharing the pursuit also aids in the discovery.
I, too will need to "Look for it* as for silver and search for it as hidden treasure," (Prov. 2:2) For me, the "it" is the wisdom of knowing how to please God.

Digging deeper in His word will help me deepen my relationship with the Lord.
