Cool Blog Game...
The rules are:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest

This is kind of fun. I saw this on another guy's blog and just had to do it. I'm sitting at home so I look on my desk and the first book was "Biblical Interpretation" by W. Randolph Tate. Ahh school books.

And the next 4...
The final structural device in Matthew pertains to the entire work.

Bitter Sweet Symphony

As we had the joy this week of finding out we're having a boy in April, we also had the sadness of giving Stuart up for adoption. We decided a while back that he would be better off and better taken care of in home that could provide him more attention. So Stuart moved to a new home far away on Tuesday. It was sad because he is a good dog. Melissa says she just keeps pretending that he's outside. Stuart will be missed but will be better off with his new owner.

IT'S A BOY!!!

It's official! We went to the doctor yesterday and found out that Bob is a boy. Just a reminder that Bob is not his real name. We are super excited!!! Can't wait for little Bob to be born so we can stop calling him Bob.
