Just ate a pretty tasty meal, if I do say so myself.  :fork:

Got a request that shocked me and has made me extremely nervous...
One of Lou's cashiers and her husband have been going through some very rough times, both healthwise and financial. They've never known anything about a pentecostal church either. They are in their late forties to early fifties...They started coming to church with us a few weeks ago, and the lady told Lou they were looking for a home church. They don't have any transportation, so we've been picking them up.

The first couple of services, they were kinda nervous- the lady told me that if someone grabbed her, she was "making tracks outta there". :biglaugh: I've noticed that they have been clapping more, and seemingly more involved every service. Today, they asked Lou if I would give them a home Bible study. I said yes, of course- no way to turn that down. Now I'm scared to death.... :laughhard: Lou told me she's been asking some questions at work pertaining to church, so I knew they were interested. The lady texts Lou daily and almost always tells Lou she can't wait for the next church service.  :thumbsup2:
So if you have a chance- say a prayer that I can teach them a bible study in the manner that it can be clearly understood. I SO want to see my church grow and have an active part in it, and I certainly don't want to confuse them. Thanks

Please pray for me, I am in pain again, and Nothing is relieving it.
God took the pain from me Thursday so I could go to church. But it is back today.
Tomorrow I have meetings and sunday Church. I really need to be able to focus on my tasks at hand, I do not see missing as an option, I don't care if I'm dying!

Roscoe: "The Way More Perfectly" by Timothy Mitchell is the BEST Bible study I've seen/ taught so far.  It is to the point, powerful, respectful of where "Christians" have come so far but expounding Truth.  I have heard so many testonies from others on it too.  I will mail you one if you want.  Our church has a goal to have a hundred Bible studies at the same time.  & that is the one that will be used most. 

Very exciting for you!  My pastor says all you have to do to teach one is be one step ahead of them, cause they don't know!  & if you ask a question u don't have the answer to, be honest & tell them you'll find out. 

You probably already know that stuff tho.

That would be AWESOME, Meller. And much appreciated...I'm sure God will help me with this..

Hmm... I haven't heard of that one either. Might have to check into it. We've got a guy in our church (one of those amazing stories I was telling you about recently) that is going hog-wild with home Bible studies. I'm thinking it might be something he could use...

He was nervous and scared at first. He did ok though. I'm actually up now to get ready and take him back in so he can have another one done this morning. Then Tuesday, he will start having it Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays.

It made him really weak. We were told that though, so no surprise there, it's just hard to adjust.

I think though, that once he starts getting this regular, he will feel much better and it will help him a lot!! It's just gonna take a little time.

I took dad to town, gotta go back at 10:30 to get him.

I went to church and got some Jesus time, then I went to WM and got some stuff for the weekend. My oldest brother, John, is coming to see dad. And my 16year old niece is supposed to be coming too.

I'm excited.


Meeting today, and church tomorrow. :D

Mel - Glad you updated on your dad. I was wondering how he was doing too. *Hugs* to you. *Big hugs* It's no fun to watch dads weak and in pain. I hope this will help him. :)
