Just a quick note to appease those who have called for more blogging. I do apologize--I tend to write less when I'm not depressed. Trying to change that. It's not easy. You know what "they" say, 'You can lead a horse to water but you can't teach an old dog to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.' Or something like that....
I'm developing a rep I rather enjoy. For my Wed night Bible study I've been really digging into the Word to look for verses that support my answers and my thoughts. I was initially timid about sharing all I'd looked up. And I only share about half of what I look up because I'm thorough.
But then a couple ladies shared how they had looked up some of the scriptures afterwards. Someone really took to heart one of the questions and was encouraged by the scripture I'd found and shared.
I think it's the influence of BSF. Now, with BSF, the digging is confined to the passage currently being studied. There are occasional challenge questions where one can go anywhere in the Bible for answers/support/wisdom.
How cool that this mentality is spreading to other facets of me? I really enjoy pouring through the concordance and rereading or sometimes reading for the first time some nugget of Truth that God has written for all of us.
It is so wonderful that God has left us this instructional manual in the Bible that it holds all the answers we need.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
More later.
Plus I've got a new artist on my horizon...Check out Owl City...
I love BSF. I went to it when we lived in Albuquerque. I also like that band too. They play that song on the new Christian station in Indy. Hope all is well!
