Prepositions

Visited Providence Lutheran Church in the morning, a small historic church about a 1/2 hour outside of Columbia, SC, in Lexington. Spent the better part of today studying the Greek prepositions. There just no easy way to learn them, man. I had to make up nonsense sentences that contained the basic meanings with embedded references to the case they go with. Here's an example:
  • I met with a gentleman after I was accused : "meta" means with when used with a noun in the genitive case but it means after when used with a noun in the accusative case.
