I love to begin a new book. Oh, the possibilities! Will it start slow or grab my attention from the beginning? Will I learn something from it or will it be something of pure enjoyment? Will I feel I know the author a little bit when I'm finished or will I feel that he (or she) was vague and unattached from their own writing? Will it be a book to linger over or one that commands my attention even when I'm away from it? I love a new read....
I feel a little like this with school. I've tasted two days of classes and study and I must say - it has my attention even when I walk away or put the books aside. Oh, the joy of learning! And because it's a Bible School I already feel as though I'm beginning to learn all new aspects of the wonderful Author. I thought I knew Him well but I am already seeing some of the wealth of Him I have not yet uncovered. I'm anticipating the joy of discovery!
I also want to make it a point of learning to know the other students so yesterday I invited two of the girls out to lunch afterwards. We spent a couple of hours getting to know each other. What a joy! I could probably camp out with the two of them this whole session and not learn (or enjoy) all there is to know from them. Great girls - I mean they agreed to spend time with this old lady, didn't they, and at least pretended to enjoy it!!!!
I think all my excitement and stories could be wearing a little bit thin with Warren but I have a defense....he was off to the same school this morning to study the book of Acts. There is no way he could come home nonchalant about that! We'll probably have to take turns sharing about all we've learned and our experiences. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm also trying not to be jealous this morning with the fact that he's off to class and I'm not!
Tuesday is just around the corner...

You guys are AWESOME. I LOVE that you are taking classes at Cornerstone--I pray pray pray that God keeps me hungry and learning and sitting at His feet (through others) always. I'm so excited to hear (read) what you are learning, how God moves and reveals Himself to you. You can't help but be blessed sitting under Adam Poole.
Bless you girl!
I'm so glad to hear that the first week was so great! We pray for you as we start our school.
I didn't know about this venture. What a great opportunity. Sheri, girls don't have to pretend to have fun with you. You're so much fun to be around.
That was kind, Janine. I am always amazed that you young woman would want to spend time with us older woman. I don't remember doing that when i was young and I so admire it in you guys. I certainly count it a privilege.
