a few new posts on 843 acres!

Yesterday and today I had new posts on 843 acres:

The Truth of Being Ruined and What We Have in Common with a 1-Year Old

Check them out to see what's been going on in New York in the news and in the daily grind. Also, if you enjoy 843 acres as much as I do, you should definitely keep up with the newsblog during the month of December for the Advent Readings 2009.

Here's a quick description from Bethany about the next month's daily devotionals:

For the month of December, Morning Walk will be taking a sabbatical from its daily urban devotions keyed to the M’Cheyne reading plan (you can still follow the M’Cheyne readings here). Instead, we’ll be reflecting on the promise of the Messiah as fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. Each day, we’ll look at one Old Testament prophecy and its corresponding New Testament fulfillment.

The Old Testament was written over a period of a thousand years. It contains 300 references to the coming of the Messiah. Based on statistical probabilities, the chances that 48 of these prophecies would be fulfilled in one person is 10 to the 157th degree (that is, 1 followed by 157 zeros). Jesus Christ fulfilled all of these prophecies, which is – of course - miraculous since these prophecies were made at least 400 years before he appeared.
