Love Monday.

Happy Monday!  I know it's crazy, but I LOVE Mondays!  It is my Bible study day, and I just love being in the space of this group of women each week.  They encourage me, inspire me, make me laugh, and show me Christ's love.  What a way to kick-off the week.  I try to hang on to that encouragement, inspiration, laughter, and love as I tackle each week.

Well, last week I did not get a book done.  Rather, sampled a few.  I decided it was time to take a turn toward fiction.  I started reading "Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiaasen, kind of a cross between chick-lit and mystery - but hey, it is a New York Times Best-Seller, and it was free.  Unfortunately, about 45 pages in, and I still wasn't hooked.  I will finish it anyway, I think.

Then, I dug in to Max Lucado's "3:16", decided that while it is starting out so amazing, I need to set it aside until I am through my "Fearless" study with my Women's Connections group.  One Lucado piece at a time...

Last but not least, we started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University last week.  Part of our homework was to read four chapters of the course book.  So incredible.  I will have to post separately about the Financial Peace experience (well, as much as I can comfortably blog about publicly, if you will). 

But, what I am really excited about is...

My next BookSneeze.com selection arrived today - my "Mom's Bible" with notes by Bobbie Wolgemuth.  It is the "New Century Version" of the Bible, and I'm not sure that I've ever studied from this version before, but I sure am excited to dig in during my quiet time with the Lord.  Reviews to come!
