Ben's Mission

His names Ricardo. He's a good kid. Loves the Bible. Other than that, not too much happening this week.    I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to participate in the family's weekly studies this week, even if I didn't get to be a part of the discussion at the end.

In this chapter the Apostles are out at sea, and the storms begin to blow, and they begin to despair. They look for the Savior, but he's not there. Now, in ancient Hebrew times they categorized the night into 4 parts called "watches." The first watch was from 6-9 pm. The second from 9-midnight, the third from midnight to 3 am, and the final, or 4th watch from 3-sunrise. In this chapter in Mark it says that the Savior appeared to them on the water at about the 4th watch. There's a le...

It got super cold yesterday so we took advantage of that by opening all the windows and blasting all the fans. It was 53 degrees in the apartment when we woke up and around 49 in our bedroom. Good stuff.    Th...
