New Testament

Journal: December 16, 2007

Our New Testament and last final of the semester. We all pretty much studied until 2:00 pm until the test except for a few that tried to get onto the temple mount. I think they must have felt pretty confident, or did not care. There was not nearly as much tension or stress though. I think everyone was pretty much ready to be done and just have a few days of fun before we leave. Some people had even started packing by this time. After the test people played games and took naps. I opted for the second one.

After dinner, some people went to West Jerusalem and others went to play basketball and soccer. Soccer was fun and brutal, as always. I had to stop a half hour in to go work at the Shalom Shack. Watched part of it is a Wonderful Life until the Shalom Shack closed and went back to soccer.

Something that stuck out to me from the New Testament is how when Peter asked Christ if he could walk to Him on the water during the storm, it is when Peter looks down that he started to sink. We need to constantly keep our eyes on Him and not look at the storm around us in this world. If we do look around at the storm we are in, it will be harder to return your eyes to the Lord.
