The Theology of the Book of Revelation - Book Review

I have nearly completed all of my assigned reading for my upcoming Revelation class. I wanted to do one more book review, albeit a shorter one, on Richard Bauckam's The Theology of the Book of Revelation.  If there was one book that treated this subject better and yet more concisely than Bauckham, then I wouldn't believe it.  This book is a treasure of information.  There is nearly a quotable portion on every page.  My highlighter eventually ran out of ink on this one.  I did resist the urge to post them on facebook just because I knew I would have to change it every 5 minutes.  Two thumbs up for the serious student to scholar!

PS-this book has spurred me to read more Bauckham.  I am looking forward to reading his larger collected works on Revelation The Climax of Prophecy

Love Her!!

Pictures are always taken of our sweet Abigail, and I just have to share a few!  We love her to pieces! I cannot believe how much she is growing!
"This ride is so relaxing! Especially when I've got my bottle!"

I love to cuddle with her!

Abigail loves Daddy kisses!

What a cute face!!! She loves playing on the floor (most of the time)! :-)

We found her like this after she fell asleep.  She sleeps like her momma!

Honduras as home

So we were out of milk today, and Liz needed it as an ingredient for dinner.  So we went for a walk to the local Supermarcado down the road.  On the way, we met some ladies who saw Abigail and asked about her age (in Spanish to which Liz quickly responded in Spanish... way to go, baby!).  Hondurans are very conversational and cordial.  You say "hello" or "good afternoon" to everyone you pass.  And look how cute and comfie Abi is with her momma.  No wonder people want to ask about her.

Thanks Amanda K. for this baby sling thing.  It looks great, and Abi loves it!

Further down the road, we saw one of the security guards, Efrain, from our church.  He's a really nice guy.  I didn't realize he lived up here near us.

After we got our milk (they were out of the good stuff so we got a bag of milk) and other assorted items (chips, tortillas, and hamburger buns), we made our way our back to our house.  On the way, we saw one of my parents in a bus going downtown.

I love knowing some of the people in our community.  We may only be able to have small talk (Spanish still not great), but it is fun to see people you know and meet others you didn't.
