Still reading? Oh, great! Ha. The hubs and I have started a tradition of doing Christmas focused Bible studies in the month of December. Last year we read scripture from the Christmas story each night. This year we dove a little bit deeper, or what the hubs would say "these are meatier studies". If you haven't taken the time to have prayer with your husband, I promise you the first time you do this, you will not regret it. You might even, gulp, like it! There is something about it that I can't really describe, you'll just have to try it out for yourself. ( sap alert- being married to a godly man is HOT, just sayin'! )
The first 4 are links to the studies, the last is a reading plan for the story of Christmas. Hubs and I did the study on "Born of a Virgin" last night. It took about an hour, just to give you an idea.
