This is a great idea, dad! :]
I don't have any stories as exciting as Josh's (way cool, btw), but I wanted to say hi anyway. I went on a Valentines day quasi-date that was very fun yesterday. Laura Sutton will be here soon to visit Wheaton for the weekend, so I'll be showing her this amazing school. And I got my plane ticket to join grandma and grandpa in Arizona for spring break! I'm going back to my roots...
My NT lit and interpretation professor gave a great lecture today, and I wanted to share with you guys one thing he talked about that seemed really cool to me. His lecture was about miracles, and he talked mostly about Mark 4, where Jesus calms the storm. He pointed out that the deciples were in absolute obedience in following him on the boat, and were even manning (such a sexist word, btw) the boat while Jesus slept. And yet out of nowhere, a storm so big that these 12 grown men were afraid for their lives rose up. It was precisely because they were Jesus' deciples, and because they were precisely where he wanted them to be that this terrifying storm rose up. I thought it was interesting.
Will mom post on this thing too?

manning??
... like PEYTON Manning???!!??
*giggles*
but seriously, good message and interresting insight.
I'm trying to picture the disciples "femaling" the boat, but it's not working for me. Besides, female finds its root in male, so it's sexist, too. Right? ;-)
But it is an interesting angle on that story, one I've never herd before. Thanks.
