Misprints and Miscellany

Hello! Embedded above is a dramatization of me reading my NASB MacArthur Study Bible, saying "NO!," crossing out some of the text, and replacing it with other text. Don't worry, I didn't cross out any of God's words, just a misprinted outline in the introduction to Malachi. It seems that the editors of the NASB JMac Study Bible accidentally put the outline of Micah in the book introduction to Malachi (an understandable error, since the names of both prophets start with the same letter).

If you have a NASB MacArthur Study Bible, please cross out the Malachi outline and find someone with a NKJV MacArthur Study Bible (which has the real outline of Malachi) or something and write it in.

Bryan served the praise team (and a bunch of people who hopped on the bandwagon at the last minute just to check it out) by teaching a Worship Bible Study. Here some some pictures:

Well, after that Bryan officially stopped making tents and packed his bags for Korea in order to spend some time hanging out with his relatives and to wrestle. (I'm not speaking figuratively, he literally is taking Jiu-Jitsu lessons in Korea and I'm pretty sure he's going to submit us all when he comes back to Taiwan in July for a bit before going back to the states.)

Here's how he felt about having to leave EBCT. I've never seen him this emotional before in my life, but who can blame him? Not even Bryan Kim could resist rubbing off some of my emotionality after being my roommate for a year. He actually said during the prayer meeting before he left that he might be "lonely" while he was in Korea for a few weeks. Lonely?! Hahaha! (Sorry if you don't get this--I'm known as someone who's pretty "emo" and Bryan, well, he's like the opposite of me). Thanks for the year of service Bryan, and as I've told you before, for being a balance for me this year and helping me to not be paralyzed by emotions or to overanalyze things that don't need to be, but to preach to myself the way you have done to me many times.

Along with Bryan, Greg also decided to leave EBCT for a few weeks. He's actually in America now. Before he left, he managed to treat the three guy tentmakers out to a fancy Japanese restaurant. Thanks Greg!

Finally, I recently stumbled upon this cool thing I can do on my laptop. I can just rotate the screen, then turn my computer sideways and read lots of stuff without having to scroll down. If you have a widescreen laptop you might want to try this out, too.

Goodbye!

Also, in my MacArthur Study Bible NKJV,it actually completely leaves out a whole PHRASE in John 9:24. It goes from "...that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:" and then, on the next page (page 1625) continues with the middle of verse 26, "by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

I'm not sure what to do- but honestly, its a big ommition and Im considering requesting they replace it. :/ My study bible does not have the notes error that yours does.
