The Bible in 90 Days?!?

The other day I ran across a blog titled My Brain Doodles. The author of this blog was talking about reading through the Bible in 90 days. I thought, "Wow, that sounds interesting." The thought stuck with me throughout the day, so I told my wife about it when I got home.

She thought it sounded interesting too, so last night we started reading through the Bible in 90 days. (I am going public with this little announcement because it adds to the accountability, right? I mean, if I post this to my blog won't it give me the extra energies to undertake such a challenge?) We read through the first 14 chapters of Genesis last night, I read seven and she read seven. My youngest son sat with us through the majority of the reading. It took approximately 50 minutes to accomplish this task, and I felt like it was a much better spent 50 minutes than the TV series on DVD viewing that I originally had planned.

This morning, when I decided to post something on my blog about this little challenge, I went searching for that blog that I ran across. Once I found it, I realized that this person was talking about this challenge as if it was something official. Sure enough, I searched for it, found the website. Through the Bible in 90 days is a special Bible and a curriculum. They also have a leader's kit and several other resources to assist small groups. I am still doing a little research, but I am wondering if this might make an awesome summer event for our church (or anyone else in our little community that might be interested).

I will try to let you know what I learn and how it goes. If anyone else has done this, let me know what you thought.

The Seed and The Soil of Education (New Learning Project Part 1)

(This is my entry for the first part of my project for my New Learning course that I am taking.) Introduction Corn Fields in Illinois I have lived the majority of my life in the Midwest: mid-state Illinois to be specific. Where I live, farming is everywhere. My grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers. My dad grew up on a farm and owned farmland, well into my own adulthood. But, even if it wasn’t in the family, I still would have been surrounded by farming. You can’t go more than a mile outside of my city’s limits without encountering miles and miles of fields. Most of our highways, and even interstates, are located between acres of farmland.

This too shall pass...

Gam zeh ya'avor (Hebrew) "This Too Shall Pass" Welcome! According to Google Analytics, this is by far the most visited post that I have ever written. If someone comes here from a search engine, most of the time they are looking for " this too shall pass quote " or simply " this too shall pass " on Google or one of the other search engines. I am sure that most of the time visitors are looking for the originations of this quote, but I have to wonder, why is this quote on people's minds? Why are they pondering the passing of events? Here is my thought: It is probably because most of us have realized that the adult life is much harder than we ever imagined it to be. There is more pain and more sorrow than we had ever imagined as children, but we have learned that time keeps ticking. And as time continues to flow things pass. In fact, even the really big things and the really hard things will still pass. If you are here because you are thinking ...

Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
