It's been a long and eventful year for me. Rejoining the fandom, creating a fursona and beginning to write adult material... and all the self-discovery that went along with that. Translating the Bible and coming to a deeper faith because of that.

At the moment, I am suffering from a bit of holiday melancholy. But I trust things will get better as I continue to grow and meet people.

Speaking fo translating the Bible, I polished up my translations of the Infancy Narratives to post on Furs For Christ. I decided I amy as well share them here as well. I was going to put them all in this one journal, but combined their pretty long, so I'll be splitting them up.

Which finally brings me to ask... I've been contemplating setting up a third account to post up said translations, with notes, as I finish them. This, the Amateur Vulgate Project, began last year as an attempt to see how Jerome, working in the fourth century, translated certain verses commonly seen as condemning... certain things. I was surprised, and eventually delighted, to see that his rendering checked out with the more liberal interpretation -- and in view of that fact that all English translations of the Bible more or less suck, I decided to do what I could with my limited Latin to give my own rendering of his Vulgate into English.

So now it's grown into a hopeful attempt to give a different look at those old books, which I think have been woefully misunderstood. If anyone reads this, I would very much like to hear your thoughts on whether it's worth sharing.

But regardless. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy Yuletide to all!
