Luke Chapter 2



Luke 2
The Birth of Jesus
1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.

4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas!

I'm starting a new set of pictures. They're going to be pictures of, my interpretation of classic books or any books that I choose.

To start it off, I decided to shoot a picture for The Lord of the Flies by William Golding

I think this matches one of the covers pretty well.

A Post with Words

Wow! has it been like forever since I've posted something with words. Well I've finally decided to address my problematic procrastination problem. As some of you may know I took a poll and asked which book you all thought I should finish, and you can find the results here. Well once I was finished procrastinating, I started a new book and another and another. So I decided to list all of the books I've read so far this year.

1. Murder in Mesopotamia
By Agatha Christie


2. Jeeves And The Tie That Binds
By P.G. Wodehouse

3. Stowaway
By Karen Hesse (a reread)

4. Monster
By Frank Peretti (another reread but a great reread)

And........that's about it.


Sad, I know.

But...

I've just got a nice stack of books from the "lie-berry" to quote my siblings.

And they are....

1. The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf.
(which I'm half way through with)

2. Parsifal's Page.

3. The Princess, The Crone, and The Dung-cart Knight.

4. The Quest of the Fair Unknown.

All written by Gerald Morris

I really like Gerald Morris' books cause they play off of
Sir Thomas Malory's la morte d'arthur. Which "is" the story of King Arthur.
The only down side of these books are...is that they are hard to find (at least for me) so....

Any ways I also got

Jules Verne
(a bio on Jules Verne)

Written by his grandson: Jean Jules~Verne.
(which is super nifty)

And since there's a 3 week time limit. I'm hoping to get these finished soon.
