Here's a sheet with the text we are moving into today - not a big deal, it's really just the introductory verses in the synoptic gospels, but I have translated Luke's in a way you may not be familiar with - you'll see why. We are going to finish up John's prologue material, and then touch on the intros to the other gospels. As noted earlier, we will not be reading through the genealogies, but if time allows I will comment on them a bit. And then, next week, The Annunciation!

By the way, in one of our Piazza gatherings I recommended the book Prayer and Temperament by Chester Michael. This is a great book, mapping the different Myers-Briggs Personality types onto different spirituality types. Another thing it does is connect the 4 gospels with the 4 major personality types, on the assumption that one of the reasons we get 4 different perspectives on the gospel story in our canon is that the authors of the gospels were in fact each of one of the 4 main personality types, and each wrote a gospel for that personality type - so if you have a favorite gospel, it's likely that your personality type matches that of the author. Anyway, I found it to be right on.

See you soon... (and if you are not a supporter yet, there is time to become a supporter before we begin this morning - just sayin') - Jim
