Bible study last night --

Neat sharing at Bible study last night -

One of the ladies has trouble trying to picture things - she says she has no imagination. Beth Moore wrote a description of Christ in the study (Jesus the One and Only) and wanted us to maintain this picture throughout the study (muscular, dark skinned, dark almond eyes, etc.). She really struggled with that because of her lack of imagination, so she prayed and asked the Lord to somehow help her picture what Christ may have looked like. She promptly forgot her request, she had given it over to the Lord. Two days later, as she was walking from the out patient clinic to her office at the hospital, "something" made her turn around. She glanced around and there was a gentleman meeting the above description exactly and he was SMILING! She suddenly remembered her request and turned around to get a better look and he was gone! She couldn't see him anywhere! Talk about goose bumps! We all had them after she told us about this incident! An answer to her prayer!

Just one of the neat things happening in Bible study. Yesterday, in the morning session we had the most wonderful season of prayer! The ladies also "voted" to have the morning session go until 12:00 (morning Bible study starts at 9:30 AM). They said 11:30 just didn't give them enough time! The evening session already goes from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

Also today I had a call from a lady in Sarasota. She had just finished Beth Moore's book "Get Out of the Pit." She is now hungry for Bible study so she called Living Proof in Nashville and they gave her my name and phone number. She will now be joining us in the evening study!

This afternoon we went out to the gulf to watch the waves. With the tropical depression off to our northwest, the winds are coming out of the south. The waves are breaking at 4-6 feet. They are just beautiful! The beach patrol is flying double red flags which means the water is closed to the public, but there were still many people playing in the waves. I'm glad I'm not a lifeguard!!!!
