Celebrating Colossians

It is funny how i think "i must write a new entry" (for a blog) and then all kinds of things get on my way as an obstacles i can not get over and then i realize that week is already gone. Where it is gone? What is accomplished? Did i walked closer to God this week or stayed still or even moved farther from Him.
During these days i finished translating (into normal Latvian) Paul's letter to Colossians. I was soooooo happy to finally finish it. It took me a long time. This was one of the letters (in my old and only Latvian Bible version) which almost all was red with all kinds of comments and marks on a sides of it and over the text as i discovered true or better meaning of Paul's writings. This is one sad thing about small nation like ours - there is not many people who could do something like that or to dare to do it. Biggest problem is not the knowledge of Hebrew or Greek for those who do official translation (Bible Association), but problem is to make it more live. They are "so afraid" to add extra words not to lose authenticity, but when you translating you sometimes need to add extra words to make it more understandable and clear, which Holy Spirit can do better then scholarship, i believe. So i gave up on our scalars and decided to do it on my own using many English version Bibles plus Greek - English parallel Bible. I did not mean to write so much about why i did it, but as one person used to say: "It just happened".
So, there was some interesting things i discovered even at the very end of my final version,
like ch. 2 verse 7: that we are built in Christ and confirmed in the faith as we were thought.
I like the idea of us being built in Christ (as living stones in His Church). Is not it good?! And word confirmed (in Greek version). As i understand it, it says something about not turning back, unlikely to change (says Oxford's dictionary).
Did i write here what i wanted to share? Don't know.

Of course there is Olympics worth to mention - what an effort those athletes give to get medals, to bring Glory to their country. It is good example for us, followers of Christ, to exercise our faith - to be fit and strong in our Faith, so that we could bring Glory to the Kingdom we are representing.
