Well, I mentioned in my last post<\/a> that today was a work day. Part of the reason we are taking a full month is so that I can get some things done that I just can\u2019t do during the course of normal life. So I have 10-14 days out of this month planned to work on two big projects.<\/p>

\"\"Project One<\/h3>

The first one is an in-depth study of Philippians. Since I plan to teach through the letter later this year, I need to do a full translation and exegetical study before trying to write any messages.<\/p>

Today I made it through the first 26 verses of chapter one. This covers the two introductory verses (1-2) and the first two major divisions of the letter (1:3-11 and 1:12-26). There are seven major divisions. So I have my translation and technical notes, using three exegetical sources. I hope to finish all seven divisions before we leave.<\/p>

Project Two<\/h3>

My second project is even bigger. Although it hasn\u2019t sold a ton of copies, I have published one book already. What you may not know is that I have started on a second one, too.<\/p>

My number one passion is helping people understand the Bible, and I intend for all of my writings to accomplish that a little more. My first book was on the biblical teaching about marriage, divorce, and remarriage<\/a>. My second (as of this point) will be a major work on spiritual gifts.<\/p>

My goal is to tackle the individual gifts themselves, but also the biblical concept of spiritual gifts in general. And because they are such a big issue \u2013 and I am asked about them very frequently \u2013 I will have a special section on the gifts of tongues and prophecy.<\/p>

Now, I\u2019m under no illusion that I\u2019ll get very far on this, but I do have some specific goals in mind for this one, too.<\/p>

Minor Project<\/h3>

OK, so I said there are two. On a smaller scale, I also have several books that I plan to read and review while we\u2019re here. One of the publishers for whom I review books uses a blog tour method. Basically, they ask us to post all of our reviews around the same time period to generate lots of buzz about certain books.<\/p>

So the week of June 15-19 I\u2019ll be posting reviews on three books from Waterbrook-Multnomah. I also have one from Thomas Nelson to review, as well as two or three others that have been on my reading list for quite a while.<\/p>

Needless to say, I have a full month planned. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 there is plenty of relaxing time as well. But who said reading isn\u2019t relaxing?<\/p>
