Being Old, revisited

Went to write a check on the 20th. Turned out my driver's license had expired on the 7th. Glen had to drive me around the rest of the weekend.

Monday he took me to the DMV...where I FAILED the eye test and had to put on my glasses in order to pass it. I now have the "A" restriction on my license...I'm supposed to wear my glasses when I drive. Boy, do I feel old.

"The Nativity" by Alonzo L. Gaskill

I just finished reading a small book: "The Nativity" by Alonzo L. Gaskill. Bought it at BYU when I was there. It's published by Deseret Book. What a wonderful book. Brother Gaskill is a convert from the Greek Orthodox Church and has written books on gospel symbols.

The Christmas story from Matthew and Luke is meshed chronologically, so you can read the whole story (which is what we read on Christmas Eve). Then the scriptures are taken line by line and explained as far as biblical customs and other commentaries are concerned. Really insightful. I highly recommend it.
