Chapter 6 and 7

Whew! Busy week this week. Kirsti, praying for you and your Dad. Susan, hoping you survive the dreaded conference reports. Friday, a day off, will be your light at the end of all that hard work.  Mom, praying that the transition to Florida is  smooth  and not too exhausting for both you and Dad. Just a normal week for me. Sometimes, normal is welcoming.
Maybe this is the perfect week to complete the sentence that Kyle presents to us on page 98. "By the power of the Holy Spirit......."  How would you complete that sentence?
Galatians 5:25  " If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the spirit."
We need to ask for his presence more than just once a week on Sunday mornings. So grateful that there is a way to follow him without relying on me.

Chapter 4 and 5

We are going to shoot for chapters 4 and  5 this week. Thanks for your comments so  far. First off,  don't be afraid to say anything. Thanks Susan, for your "school teacher" outline. You are certainly on a different level of study than I am but I know that Jesus doesn't care about how elementary my comments are in comparison to yours. How are you doing Mom and Kirsti? Don't feel that you have to comment on every chapter. Just move forward and comment on  our assignment for this week. I have read chapter 4 but not 5, yet. Our goal wll be to through chapter 5 by Monday. Hope that is doable. Kyle Idleman's style of writing is very light hearted but gets the point across. Enjoying his sense of humor.

Chapter Three

This week's reading is chapter 3.  Luke 7. Chapter 3 discusses the difference of having a knowledge of Jesus and having an intimate relationship with him. Questions for thought. When is the last time you had a relationship with Jesus like the woman in Luke 7 had? Do you know about Jesus or do you really know Jesus? It is one thing to announce that we are going to have an initimate relationship with Jesus but it is another thing to put it into practice.

And so it begins

And so it begins. Our first Bible study or should I should I say, Book club. It will be interesting to see how this evolves. Share your ideas. Thank you, Susan, for forming our "group". I have the blog all set to go but by all means do not wish to be in charge of this study. First things, first. All of us need to have a google account so that we can comment on this blog. Next, test that account by leaving a comment over the next couple days verifying that this is working and we are good to go.

Let us begin. Our first book, "NOT A FAN". This looks to be a soul searching book and might even take us to places we do not want to go. I believe that everyone has already started reading. Homework assignment, read the first two chapters by Monday, the 8th and comment about what made an impression or spoke to your heart. Please, everyone, give your input. Comment on each chapter or one comment for both. As much or as little as you feel comfortable. Looking forward to sharing this journey.
