Sunday Confessions — A Name by Any Other Name

We’re learn­ing a lit­tle Hebrew in my Old Tes­ta­ment class. It helps to under­stand what the hey-hoo was REALLY going on dur­ing the Abraham-Moses era.

Our Hebrew word of the day today is ‘Beth’; which means ‘house of’. For example -

Beth­la­ham — House of Bread
Bethel — House of God

Now stay with me…this is one of those if A=1, then B=2.

My offi­cial name is Jenny Beth. And every­one knows that Jenny is a female donkey.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

*Garfield eyes*

Jenny Beth = House of Jack@$$

I’m meant for great­ness, I tell ya.

   […] On the first day of classes for this past semes­ter, I found out that I wasn’t sup­posed to have taken another class with my Stat class. Why? Because Stat’s was going to kick my rear!! At first I was hacked that my advi­sor didn’t “advise” me prop­erly. Then I set my jaw and dug my heels in.  (I am a bit stubborn.) […]
