So my dad and I are reading the Gospel of John together. Here are my thoughts on the first few chapters.
John 1:1-18
Vs 5 The darkness has not overcome it.
There is hope in Him no matter how dark the world gets.
Vs 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light.
We have to let out light shine in the world.
Vs 10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him; yet the world did not know Him.
Sometimes it is really hard to see God in the world.
Vs 13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or the will of man, but of God.
I am a child of God.
Vss 19 - 29. They challenged Jesus for His actions, we should expect the same.
Vs 37 The two disciples heard him say this and the fallowed Jesus.
By John's voice they found Jesus, am I doing the same with my voice?
vs 46 Nathanael said to him "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said "Come and see."
Do I need to see to believe or do I just believe?
More to come soon.

I think that is so cool that you read this stuff with your dad!!! I was raised by strict Catholics but they never really talked about stuff at home it was just dragging us to church every week and for Holy Days, etc. Now, at age 30, I'm on fire for Christ! In a Catholic kind of way! Ha ha ha. I also think that's awesome that you are going to be a nun! God Luv ya!
PS - I followed your link on The Longest Conv Thread at CAF. I'm redtech
Yeah, it was really cool. One night he just came up to me and was like "I think we should read John together." Just out of the blue.
