Precision Update

So I have a place for devotions.  I decided on my desk.  It's a good place because it's not too comfortable so there's little chance I'd fall asleep.  I'm not giving up but picking the same time every day won't work for me.

February has a few goals now.

1. When I rise and when I go to bed, I will be spending a concentrated 10 minutes in prayer.  If I go over, great.  But at least 10 mins.

2. I'm going to read Today in the Word, the Moody Bible Institute daily devotional.  I gave the hard copy I have for the month to my friend and she's going to read with me to keep us both accountable.  I'm going to text or email her every day my thoughts or reactions to the day's reading/devo.

3.  In this next month I will get my bible study homework done before the day I have study. Sunday for BSF, Tuesday for the women's study.  Yes BSF is a daily structure but there many weeks where I have days I slack.

So that's it for now.

Oh!  I'm giving up Facebook for Lent so I imagine I'll blog about that experience more often when the time comes around.  I think this year will be the most challenging yet considering how much I use FB these days.  Planning on uninstalling the app on my phone.

Bigger Problems

I may not be okay but seriously there are far, far bigger problems in the world.   From the devastating earthquake in Haiti, to the tight Connecticut race for Kennedy's old Senate seat, to Health Care reform, to Paula Abdula not being a judge on American Idol this season...  Okay maybe the last one isn't that earth-shattering.  I might get lynched by a couple friends who watch it but I'll take my chances. Part of me is kicking myself for being so selfish and self centered lately.  Who cares if I'm depressed?  Or I don't feel like myself? There are families with loved ones serving in the military in dangerous places around the world.  There are kids and families on the streets, around the world and in the U.S. that don't know when they're next meal will be or how they will survive another cold winter night without shelter.  There are children who have no father or mother; they both died from AIDS, or cancer, or a drunk driver hit their car. How dare I s...

Always with the new beginnings

Wow. A lot can change in a couple months. My first year in Bible Study Fellowship is now over. It's weird. I'm sad to be losing my discussion group. They're a wonderful collage of women from whom I have learned much. They've made me laugh, they've touched my soul and shown me perspectives I could never truly imagine on my own. In another week and half, my ladies Bible study group on Wednesday, which I lovingly nickname my McDanell study, will be finishing up our current book called The Cycles of Victorious Living by Earl and Hazel Lee. It's a good book and I would recommend it. A little birdie called the church bulletin, informed me the Wednesday night group would study Hebrews next. I hope that is true--I'm ready for digging into a book of the Bible study. Lastly, my small group has started a new book. (Yes, I was in three Bible studies this winter. No, I'm probably not doing that again). The book is something Dave L. was reading and thought we'd...
