BEGINNING THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

Okay, I cheated. Last night I took a peek at today's Advent Calendar offering and thus brought my bible downstairs with me this morning. So BEFORE I even looked at my daily puzzles, I read the first Chapter of Luke. I don't know whether I have ever read it all the way through from beginning to end. Ten years ago in Education for Ministry (EfM) we did study all four Gospels during the second year. Still, I don't think we read it through from beginning to end.

And so, yes, I am giving myself that gift. It will be a good addition to my Advent. Even the very first chapter is rich with stuff I know I have read but haven't kept the pieces together for reflection. Yes, this is good.
