The end of the 555 era

One of those fun little things about being here in Kyiv is about to come to an end. I thought it was hilarious when we first moved here that everyone's phone number started with 555, just like in the movies. So, we'd be watching a movie and would hear Brandon and Emily's number, or maybe Kelly and Vicki's number...

But sadly, the 555 era has come to an end. They're changing our numbers...(maybe there really are people who watch movies and call the 555 numbers, so people in our area have been getting calls from all sorts of people...). Don't ask me why all the numbers are changing, but I'm glad to have had a 555 number for a little while :)

2 down, 64 to go...

Just finished the second week of SBS! We have started out pretty easy, learning the inductive method and studying very short books - Philemon and Titus. I seriously thought there was not much to Philemon until last week. It's a cool little book!
And Titus...it's just packed with great stuff. Especially the verses about grace. Basically, the whole book centers around grace and the godly lifestyle that comes from really truly knowing God's grace. I'm beginning to see more and more that everything flows from that - knowing God's total, complete acceptance of me as I am no strings attached. I can't even begin to comprehend it.
It's strange getting into a new schedule and adjusting to a new rhythm in life. Change always takes me a while to get used to. Torben and I are used to spending a lot of time together, but with him leading DTS and me studying in SBS, it's different. We see each other a lot, but don't have much quality time together. I'm looking forward into when we're more adjusted to new schedules.
I miss DTS though!! I enjoy talking to the students and hearing what's going on. I know it's right for me to be doing the SBS right now, but I still feel like I'm a part of DTS. I say "we" for both schools.
Anyways, just a short update. Gotta go make some dinner :)
