E is for EASTER, which is when this photo was taken last year. The weather was unusually warm, we are not normally running around outdoors in short sleeves in early April in my neck of the woods! I took the photo while standing on top of our friends' camper (aka glamper)...which is ENORMOUS compared to ours.
E is for ENGAGEMENT!!! These photos were taken immediately our beautiful daughter and her boyfriend got engaged. So EXCITING!!!
E is for EXEGESIS...an activity which has taken over my life lately (which I suppose is to be expected in a Master of Divinity program!)
(From Wikipedia: "Exegesis (from the Greek ἐξήγησις from ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for exegesis of the Bible; however, in contemporary usage it has broadened to mean a critical explanation of any text, and the term "Biblical exegesis" is used for greater specificity. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to explore the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance.")
ENCOUNTER more of the letter E over on the ABCWednesday website !!

The only times I've seen the word exegesis are in sermon discussions and in the New Interpreter's Bible.
Congrats to the engaged!

Great photos! Engagement is a perfect post for Valentine's day and those two look so cute together esp the last shot. Exegesis...wonderful activity with the bible. I'll bet you are the only exegesis post on E day!
Congratulations! They look so happy together!

Hi Anne, great E's for this week. Love the Engagement and Egg photos. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't know what Exegesis meant, so I'm glad you chose it for ABCW.
Have a great evening.
Egad! Now I don't feel guilty missing my alphabet letter this week - can I borrow one of yours? LOL Great choices all around, Anne. I hope your daughter's happiness is tripled - she looks so excited in her engagement photos!
