1. Bethany’s choir performance at school was a success.<\/p>\n
2. When checking out at Kroger, the cashier told Kelli that an anonymous donor had given a gift to five people in line. She took a Ben Franklin out of an envelope and applied it to our bill.<\/p>\n
3. A couple of girls came home with all As on their semester report cards.<\/p>\n
4. God helped the boys out by raking all of the leaves in our yard and putting them in a corner where they are easy to collect. (Other areas didn’t fare so well from the high winds.)<\/p>\n
5. I turned in the first half of my dissertation.<\/p>\n
6. Jonathan made us laugh. He does that every day, but we don’t take it for granted.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week our family enjoyed Michael W. Smith’s Christmas concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. It was outstanding.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m teaching that the Old Testament is a thoroughly messianic work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
