I've been busy with studies, including preparing for an exegesis exam, so reading has been a bit sparse these past few days.
Bible
My Old Testament readings for the past few days have been from Judges, and it seems that each chapter begins with the words "Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord..." What were they thinking? Then again, we are no different. Thank God for His mercy when we blow it!
TEEC material
In the material for the course "Journeying in Faith", we are looking at the spirituality of various historical figures, and right now I'm reading about the "social Gospel" of John Wesley. Since I'm also reading a book by Tuttle on the life and theology of Wesley, and being a Methodist, I'm finding this rather interesting indeed!
Blogs
Jenny "the Machine" Hillebrand seems to have a low sleep requirement, since her blog is more up to date than stock exchange feeds from the JSE. At the moment she is reflecting on the trial service she did this past Sunday, and also on yesterday's exegesis exam - both of which she passed. Well done, Jen!
Dion Forster also has some interesting things on his blog (as always). He has recently been seconded from the Church to a position whereby he ministers to people in business, and has been reflecting recently on the sessions he is attending at business school. I find his attempts to come to terms with a transition from ministry to the business world quite fascinating, especially since I'm going through the same process the other way round (i.e. from the business world into ministry).
