Let the Little Ones Come

Humility

I have written before about the wonderful Navarre Bible and commentary.  This morning I read the gospel for the day and it is one of my very favorite passages from my favorite gospel (John).  :)  And St. Augustine's words bring the simple truth of the virtue of humility to light:

Humbly am I come,

to teach humility am I come,

as the master of humility am I come;

he who comes to Me is incorporated in Me;

he who comes to Me, becomes humble;

he who cleaves to Me will be humble;

for he does not his will but God's.

St. Augustine, In Ioann. Evang., 25, 15, and 16

 

Bible Study

Meg and I began a new bible study last week.  It is based on Jeff Cavins' Great Adventure Bible Study.  It is so well-done--a very good and dynamic study of the bible focusing on fourteen core books of the bible to give you a good feel for bible timeline/history.  I am watching the DVDs with Maggie and we are both reading scripture on our own and discussing.  Fun, Fun!!

Today, I discovered an email in my inbox with the announcement of a kids' version of the Great Adventure Bible Study.  I am very tempted to buy it right away.  It looks terrific for the little kiddos!

And meanwhile, I am still slowly making my way through the Acts of the Apostles in my Navarre Bible!  It is all good!
