A New Quarter

It is a new academic quarter and/or semester for many of you, including Katrina. (I think she's planning a post about her new classes on her blog.) But about the only place in my life that still operates on a quarter system is at church.

Katrina and I have an interesting lineup of topics, especially in our Sunday morning Bible class. We are in the very popular parenting class. (We found out this morning that we're now the only ones in the class who are not expecting a child and/or already have one or more children. That's right -- Katrina is not pregnant. Don't worry, we couldn't keep a secret like that from you all!)

The class is based on a book in the "Let The Children Come" series by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. Each class period, we spend about half the time in discussion and about half of the time watching a lecture DVD by the creator of the series. It's certainly helpful as we contemplate parenthood, although we generally keep quiet and let the actual parents talk.

Our Sunday morning topic is the Gospel of John, and we will study worship on Sunday evenings.

For those of you living under a rock, Ohio State plays in the BCS National Championship game Monday night. As you might imagine, that has been the dominant subject at work over the last week or so. It also means I have to work on Monday, but I will get Tuesday off instead. (That likely means there will not be a "Headlines" post this week.)
