This is my last week of "break" before I start classes again but it's not really much of a break. I intend to accomplish the following tasks by the end of the week:1. study and take my theological german exam,
2. write some articles on the missing feature in the church today, namely, the gospel,
3. preach Ephesians 6.10-20 part 3 on the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God,
4. preach Psalm 87: glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God,
5. take one of our singers at church out to dinner at a historic restaurant in downtown LA,
6. finish reading through the gospel of John and the book of Revelation before Jan 1, 2011,
7. continue reading (in advance) for my 2 PhD classes this Fall (OT hermeneutics and exegetical method and NT backgrounds),
8. most importantly, take my wife and son out for our family date where we can get *cheap* dinner and Monday-night football at at the same time!
Doable? Only with God's amazing grace.
