Studies
The Lord gave us a beautifully warm Florida Sunday! The church was packed this morning, praise God! I was blessed as always, but I don't linger long after the services because the sound of many conversations and the milling of many people overloads my brain rather quickly. I'm good for maybe five minutes or less, then I seek the more peaceful and quiet environment of my car.
Occasionally, on a good brain day, I can enjoy a longer time of fellowship with one or a few others if we are standing somewhat away from the throng. I like that, but it happens only rarely.
I drove over to our Kissimmee house after church. There was supposed to be a person interested in looking at it but he was nowhere to be found. Richard and I went back to the house later this evening after attending a group Bible study at First Baptist Church. Since the house hunter is the brother of our across the street neighbor, we thought he might notice we were at the house and come over, but there was no sign of him. Maybe he'll see the house tomorrow.
Richard and I had signed up for a Beth Moore study, but when we got to the church they said it was for women only, so we opted for a 13 week long New Testament study. We were highly impressed with the scholarly presentation of our leader as well as his extensive preparation. We think it will be a great group study.
Before going to the Bible study, we stopped for an early supper at the Golden Corral and I blew my diet all to pieces. Roast beef (two helpings!) gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrot cake, oh my! It sure was good!
Richard is now in two studies and I am in three. He is concerned that I will become overwhelmed, and that is always a possibility with me. I will seek God's help to enable me to pace myself and get the most out of these study groups. I have faith it will be fine. I think it is a good thing to push myself a bit. My reading is almost as fast as before and I am better at maintaining continuity with a workbook, which all three studies have.
My honey is watching some football review or ? on TV and I am almost asleep so will head for bed.
