January 2016 Wrap Up

Whew. That went by fast, didn’t it? And I am SO done with winter. I know I have almost two months to officially welcome spring, but I am more than ready for it now.

Now for the January wrap up.

Bible Reading:

It’s an even numbered year, so I am settling into the New Testament for the duration. January’s reading schedule included (in whole or in part) Matthew, Mark, and Luke. And the study of Revelation (BSF) continues to be amazing. We finished chapter 13 by the end of January.
