Have you ever recorded your team’s sporting event only to have a well-meaning chatterbox reveal who won? There is a marked difference in how we watch a game when we already know our team has won.

This year, I chose to slow down and meander through the New Testament rather than skedaddle through all of Holy Scripture.
