Books, Books, Books
I got so many books at the library today that they offered to find me a box. I have several passages that I am researching for dissertation and these represent books to research about the Parable of the Sower in the Gospel of Mark and Romans 12:2. I will probably need a few more for Romans, but this is a start. I have already obtained most of the books needed for researching James 1:19-27. All of these passages have to do with the subject of applying the Bible to our lives. My research question for the dissertations is basically: What happens after the sermon? How do/should people apply sermons to their lives?
 So, please pray for me as I study and write. I need to have three chapters written by the end of the year.
