Day 7: Luke 1-6

How's your reading going?  I've been keeping up but I haven't found the prefect routine yet.  I prefer to do Bible study/Bible reading in the afternoon when the boys are quiet napping or resting.  But with Baby Boy #3 on the way we recently moved Andrew into Calvin's room.  We have yet to find a workable afternoon nap/rest combination, so the afternoon has been hit-and-miss.  I also often read or study in the evenings after the boys are in bed, so that has been part of my plan for this New Testament blast.  Each day has been a little different, but I am striving not to let me perfectionism keep me from it. 

All I wanted to say today is that I love Luke!  It is my favorite gospel and has been for as long as I can remember.  I love the inclusion of the Christmas story.  I like that there are a lot of stories about women.  And reading it now immediately following Matthew and Mark I realize that Luke's perspective is a little different from the other two authors.  He seems to include different stories or the same stories with slightly different wording.  Maybe it's Luke's medical background, maybe it's because his audience was intended to be both Jewish and Gentile; whatever the reason, Luke appeals to me.

Rainbow Layer Cake

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking. I was running low on frosting and patience and endurace, so the end product left a lot to be desired. But, remember the boys up there?  They didn't care!  They oohed-and...

I am an inexperienced blogger. I write sporadically. I use a free blogging web-site.  I have not done a tutorial. I have not attended a blogger conference.  And I have had at least three reader's comments "lost" recently.  I am so sorry about that!! I do not know why this is happening.  I have double checked all my setting to allow comments. Even anonymous comments but the problem seems to persist.   Today I have made a small change so that the comments section will pop-up in a new window instead of at the bottom of my site.  Maybe this will help.   If you make a comment and it doesn't appear, please let me know.   Or just forgo all the blog-related-comment-mumbo-jumbo and email me directly!   I like hearing from you.
