Day Ten of Vacation – 30 December 2005

The day is off to a very slow start. It is currently 10:35 and 60% of our family is still in BED. I will let you guess which 5 are up. {grin}

We had discussed going out with the tri-pod to get a family picture while the girls are home. If we are going to do that it will have to be today or tomorrow. Sunday will be full and then they leave. I wonder what the day will hold. I wonder what the score of the Spurs game was and I wonder how long 60% of the family will pretend to sleep through the racket of the other 40% of the family. {big grin}

I’ve spent several hours searching for an “inductive survey” to use to study the Bible through this year. Most plans are going to take significantly longer than one year. I’m not looking for an in-depth inductive study of each book. I want a survey but more than a skim-the-surface survey. I want to get a deeper understanding of the overall context/structure of the Bible as a whole so that when studying and teaching specific books of the Bible I will have a good foundation to “hang it on”, a deeper understanding of the context of the book. Having spent all this time doing internet searches, praying, reading, enjoying my devotional time…it is time to hit the shower and see if any of these others can be raised. {grin}
