New Year's Day Evening with Friends

Mr. Phillips calls for recaps the year 2009,
and sets forth 2 challenges:
Memorize 52 Verses in 52 Weeks
&
Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks
...he had a lot of takers!!

Listening and recording these moments for posterity :)

"Did you hear about the Challenges?"
"I did...wow...it is going to be an epic year!"
"I wonder how many pages are in 52 books!"

Attentively listening to excellent storytellers :)
