This picture is our newly acquired acreage--13 3/4 acres of rolling hills right next to the 15.2 we purchased in April. This is a big blessing! We are strongly considering putting a house on this pretty property once we can sell our farm. How thankful we are to be able to obtain land right where we wished to re-locate! The first acreage to the west of this is VERY hilly with a decent amount of woods and a pond. This plot of ground is a bit less hilly and contains only smaller trees. We are happy about this!
I was asked to consider doing a ladies' Bible study and through prayer and many confirmations, I finally decided to "test-pilot" a study I had outlined when we were still pastoring. It will begin tomorrow evening and last for the next several weeks. It is a study for those who have been Christians for a while and want to go deeper in their spiritual walk. It will focus on various disciplines that create an atmosphere for growth in the Christian life. I decided to name the study, "Filigree." I love filigree and lace. Filigree is a delicate object of lace-like intricacy. I believe this is an appropriate name for the study since it will be delving into more complicated disciplines that hopefully produce a beautiful, intricate spiritual development! Pray for me!
