Speaking of mulling and perusing I really have enjoyed reading this issue. In particular I liked reading Carson's piece where he comments of the book "The Hole in Our Gospel". Themelios has some great articles.

Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. ²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
