Who Sent Out the Memo?!?

Aside from the fact that Donny Osmond would absolutely love these girls, 

it's amazing that they should all show up in PURPLE for Bible Study yesterday morning!

I was told that everyone burst out laughing when Edna walked in late...

also wearing,
you guessed it,
 PURPLE!

What I want to know is...

Who sent out the memo?

"... her clothing is fine linen and PURPLE."

Proverbs 31:22

October 18 Colossians Class Audio Podcast will NOT be available as this class was not recorded.

Ooops! Correction!  

Ebal is the Mount of cursing,
Gerizim is the Mount of blessing!

It was only after class that I realized I had transposed them...
bugged me all the way home!

TRULY PATHETIC DISCLAIMER!!!:  In an effort to get your On-Line classes to you in a timely manner (in some way shape or form!) and due to continuous technical difficulties, this Audio Class has been unable to be edited.  Lo-o-o-ng pauses, crumpling of papers, prolonged laughter and garbled utterances are scattered throughout this session, as is, brain fog statements made by yours truly.  My continuous refrain of not being here to be slick but rather to serve never rang more true! Extended grace is greatly appreciated!

your truly humbled servant,

Cathie

Audio Podcast Update!

Well, after MUCH prayer and MANY hours trying to fix the problem it would seem that the Audio Podcasts of the classes will no longer be available.  By no means have I given up!  However, my husband deserves his wife back and with the Thanksgiving weekend upon us... I intend to fully enjoy my family during this time!

Blessings upon each one of you and your families as you position your hearts in a repose of Thanksgiving...

All for Him and in His Name,

It's All Greek To Me!

Hey Girls!  Due to the assignments in your homework this week, I just wanted to remind you by way of encouragement to make good use of the Bible Study Helps Link that I've placed on the right hand side bar.  Just scroll down and you will see it.

Once you have clicked and linked you will see on the new page, on the left hand side, an entire list of Study Helps that will enable you to do your Greek Word Studies and transliterations and also to find definitions of words!

Have a wonderful time in the Word of God this week!

September 6th Inductive Study Class

Good Monday Morning!  So glad that our first session together is done and we are now into our first week of actual study!  I had a wonderful time yesterday in the first portion of our weeks homework and tagged on another hour just because it was such an enjoyable time in His Word!

If you are panicky because you do not have the How To Study Your Bible book, don't!  Just go ahead and do your assignments and when you come to class on Thursday you will be able to add to your lesson from our time together.

Just wanted to once again remind you that I am not here to be slick - I am here to serve!  So make sure that if you have any questions or queries that you make good use of me!  I'll help you wherever I can!  I'll be checking into the Comment Cafe later on this evening... hope to see you there!

with love,

Stepping Out... In Faith!!!

Hi Girls!  With the most tedious of the classes behind us, we are now stepping into our first week of actual study in the book of Colossians!  YAY!

Learning the Inductive Study Method can seem very overwhelming at first... it's like reading all the instructions on your new hi-tech device and almost wanting to forget the whole thing!  I'm actually speaking out of experience here as I just received a fantastic upgraded camera... I'm excited about all that it can do, but a part of me just wants to revert back to my old camera... or, just hope somebody else takes a picture with THEIR camera!

Don't cave into the temptation!  I can promise you, that day by day, week by week, as you begin to use some of the tools that you have been taught it will become second nature to you!  One builds upon the other and you will not have to use them ALL at the same time!

Having said that... dive in with gusto to your Week One assignments! Someone asked me yesterday if I have any tips when it comes to getting the homework done.  Yes, I do.

Tip #1... Actually DO your assignments!

Tip #2... Plan out your week and highlight each day, the hour (or more), that you will devote to Bible Study!

Tip #3... Nothing or nobody gets to touch this time, unless there's blood!

Always remember the most often neglected aspect to Bible Study... pray before you begin.  Keeping in mind that the Bible that you hold in your hands is God-Breathed and is only Spiritually Discerned!

By the way, the Audio Podcast of each class will always carry with it a delay of approximately 3 days before I post it here in the Colossians Bible Study Room.  Pastor Brad has to go through the process of converting the MP3 into a disc form and then I in turn have the task of converting the disk into a Podcast and uploading it to Vimeo.  In the meantime, if you have not already done so, click on the "Cathie's Audio Podcasts" link to gain additional help in How to Study Your Bible!

And by the way... Don't forget to make good use of the Comment Cafe on each post to converse with myself and with your sisters in the class!  Just scroll down and click on the Comment link of any given post.  I'll be popping in each evening to catch up with all of you, to chat, answer questions, share prayer requests (by the way, you won't waste a prayer on me at this stage!), and just plain hang out if you feel so inclined!

with much love,

                             

NEW Study! Coming September 6th!

Join us in September for a 12 week Inductive Study in the Book of Colossians!

Gaining a "True Knowledge" of Christ "So No One Deludes You"!
