Have you ever listened to someone talking on a phone?  You can only hear one side of a conversation but if you listen closely you might be able to figure out the other side of the conversation.

One of my favorite traditions at Christmas is making Holiday Cookies. But what does that have to do with studying the Bible? Let me explain.
