Dear Vigilant Watchman:

At this point, I feel that I need fresh eyes to help me, especially on the
Overview of the Bible page.  It was hastily written in order to help. 
There can be no Biblical Scholarship if a person does not know the Bible
and most of us don't.  In our churches today there is almost no real
teaching about the Old Testament and its flow.  That is why I wrote the
overview, but it was in haste.  I had a mind to go back and look at it for
edits, rewording, revisions, omissions, etc. but in the flurry it just has
not happened.  Will  you look at it for me with your editor's eyes and do
for me what I have not done?  I know you and trust you, but do you have a
mind to do this?  I don't believe that I have never made a request like
this before and maybe never will again but this is important.  People need
teaching and the Overview of the Bible page, according to the stats, one
of the most visited pages on Biblical Scholarship.net  after the index
page and the Download of the Bible page.  My interpretation is that people
are coming to BiblicalScholarship.net for the word.

You do not have to answer quickly, just think about it...

One thing you may want to consider if you choose to create your site is
the writing of abstracts and/or Book Reviews.  For instance, when if you
read, "The Black Pope" you could provide an abstract of the most dangerous
organization on the face of the earth.  Your reviews would profit you and
others.  Carla Emery was called a "clarion" of data.  George Washington
Carver clarified diverse data for public consumption in his bulletins. 
This is a useful service today in the midst of a data explosion that has
people's minds reeling.  They need the information in a digestible form. 
Abstracts take out salient points so that one can get ahold of the bottom
line.  When I look back at some of the things I recorded years ago, it is
as if I am reading them for the first time.  The articles are resources. 
I did not set out to write a book or one, big cohesive website.  I was
confronted with an issue and responded to it.  In the end, a body of work
was formed.

Sundry notes:

**Tomatoes like POTassium, which is found in POTash ashes from the
fireplace.  I am about to put potash on my new starts.

**Soap.  The grocery store gave me some fat they were throwing away, I'll
render it, mix it with lye water (strained fireplace ashes) and maybe salt
to make my first homemade soap.  I am very interested about fat.

**I have bacon that has been sitting in a brine for about two months in
the hearth pantry without refrigeration.  I have a piece of salisbury
steak that I rolled in salt a few years ago.  It was raw when I did this
simple thing.   It is sitting in salt waiting to be cooked.  Salt is a
preservative.  I had some beans that did not smell too good,  put in salt
and vinegar, and they were delicious.  Raw meat began to smell bad, rinsed
it off and salted it and it was like new.    One man had a dead horse, put
it in the river for a year, came back and ate it.  He said the meat was
not as good as fresh but was edible.  It may have been the running water. 
Native Americans would put the acorns in a moving stream to leech.

**I plan to make my first homemade cheese--yogurt and salt.  I'll spice it
after it is done after dripping through cheesecloth for 24 hours.
