A DAY FOR LIST MAKING!

I'm in a mood to make some lists. So here we go:

Top Ten Books I currently have on my reading list (I own these books already and will hopefully finish all of them in the next 2 months)

1. Ruth by Edward F. Campbell
2. Beyond Opinion by Ravi Zacharias
3. Four Views on the Book of Revelation (Counterpoints series
4. Already Gone by Ham and Beemer
5. The Cross Examination of Jesus Christ by Singer
6. The Gospels for all Christians by Richard Bauckham
7. How to Read Genesis by Temper Longman III
8. Psalms 1-71 by Kidner
9.The Dangerous Act of Worship (can't think of author)
10. The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling


Five Questions that I Would Like Answered

1. Should we consider the story of Ruth more similar in style and purpose to the Joseph narrative of Genesis, the book of Esther, or the narrative sections of Job?
2. What is what I see as blue, you see as brown, even though we both call it blue? What if our eyes do not show us the same shade even though we interpret it the same color?
3. How do dogs wake up at exactly the same time every single day?
4. How do we create true Christian community in a "christian" town that is entrenched in its own culture?
5. What makes it so hard for us to keep our mouth shut when we should?


Ten things I am currently looking forward to...
1. 30 Hour Famine at Inner-City Mission
2. Next football season (I will pick the Colts as the SB champs!)
3. March Madness
4. The high schoolers college road trip over Spring Break
5. Spending some time playing video games tonight.
6. Planning the purity retreat
7. The Elders Study that I am currently participating in with our elders at the church.
8. The Men's Retreat at the church
9. Summer--or even spring--anytime when the weather is warmer and the ground isn't covered in a foot of snow.
10. Did I mention next football season?

Books.2: Love Ravi.
Books.5: I have Cross Examination. Interesting book, good enough read. Tackle it head on.

Questions.2: You can be assured that we all see the same colors through this reasoning: Why do we all agree about what color mixtures are pleasing to the eye or a horrible sight? Its because the colors are the same across the board. If this were not the same, there would be a large discrepancy about what colors look good together or clashes. Case closed.

LookingForward.2: Yes, football! Panthers next year...
LookingForward.9: I read an interesting question on a recent tweet: Noah's deal was God would never again destroy the world with water, but is snow a loophole?
LookingForward.10: Like I said, Panthers next year!
