Alpha and Omega

I'm beginning the study of biblical greek. Now, mind you I am taking the Flylady's approach which is all about babysteps. So for now, I am just learning the alphabet slowly but surely. Nate and Savannah find this hysterical. "Dat's not the right way! It goes like dis, mom... A, B, C, D NOT Alpha, beta, gamma, delta!" or "Dat's not eta, dat's an H!" Joe and Louisa are fascinated that I have to work on handwriting. They are delighted that mine tends to be as sloppy as theirs and needs just as much practice. The very pronunciation of some of the letters has been interesting. It seems that mathematicians and biblical scholars say some of the letters differently. So, if the upcoming Duke/Carolina basketball game isn't enough... you should hear our household pronouncing pi.
