Christmas Story Readings

Lyns and I have decided to read the different accounts of the Christmas story leading up to Christmas day. That includes the first few chapters of Matthew and Luke. We're also going to be reading some of the prophecies about the birth of Christ. I'm not quite sure how we'll narrow those down. But it should be good.

Lynsey and I got to spend some much-needed time together this weekend. It had been a while. The holiday's have been really crazy so far, especially while I'm trying to study every night for something or another. We decided to set aside two nights per week to spend at home, eating a meal, and not doing much besides just being together. I'm very glad we've committed to do this. I'm thankful for the blessing that is my wife, Lynsey.

Finished Romans

Yes, yes, tis true. We finished Romans and will begin Luke here shortly. We want to read the story of our Savior's birth in late December, so we'll see how we maneuver around that considering that account is in chapter 2 of the good Doctor Luke.

My daily schedule is pretty jam-packed. I am in the middle of History of Christianity I. I try to finish 2 lessons per week. I'll read about 100 pages per night for 2 days, then listen to lectures and take notes for one night, then repeat the process. I am enjoying it, but needless to say I don't have much free time except for the weekends. And when that happens, I have small group to study for and usually play some type of guitar at church.

And I have a few Christmas gifts to buy.

And The Brink is picking up because it's time to start mind-mapping for the first full issue of The Brink Magazine. Not to mention a possible website for the entire curriculum line. We'll see if some money gets approved for that project. I'm a pessimistic person, so I doubt it. However, that doesn't mean I don't think it should happen. Young adults use the internet for so many things. And any magazine that is worth anything has an online version. So I don't understand why we wouldn't go that route. We'll see though. We shall see!

I'm ready for a break. So is Lyns.
