Care to Join Me?


Good evening, everyone! I trust that you had a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family, and that you have snuggled in for a cozy winter. We are busily getting ready for our last Christmas celebration, and even though we have been celebrating for quite some time now, we are really very excited to get together one more time with family and friends. One of the benefits of both of us coming from large families...always something and someone new to see.

Anyway, back to the title of my entry. I'd like to invite any and all of you who are interested to join me in an online Bible study of sorts. I have just recently purchased the new study by Priscilla Shirer entitled "Can We Talk? (soul stirring conversations with God)". Anyway, this is a 6 week study covering 6 different topics. I don't know everything about it, but I heard her speak, and am really, really looking forward to reading this book. Truth of the matter, I stink at personal Bible study unless I have a format and someone to be accountable to. So, I thought this would be a new twist on the traditional Bible Study.

If you are interested, we'll begin the 2nd Monday in January (the 12th). Then, each week, I'll post one entry devoted to the study, and you can leave your comments on what you liked/learned/rediscovered through the study. That way, we'll all be able to "chat" about it without sitting at the computer for hours on end.

The book is available at Lifeway stores, and I'm sure other bookstores as well, in addition to its availability on Priscilla Shirer's website www.goingbeyond.com. Furthermore, here is a link to a video clip about the study http://www.goingbeyond.com/feature4.asp. If you're interested, grab a book and join in on the journey. Hope to see you there!

Blessings! Talk to you next year!

I'm SO in! I got my book Monday...before you wrote this post...that's JUST how in tune with your wishes I am. I was thinking of inviting some townies to come chat in my home once a week during those same weeks...but I will certainly join your online discussion. You're the best!
