Bible study day

This morning I headed over to Victory for Bible study. We had a nice group gathered, with Rita treating us to special bakery from Cinotti's near the Beaches. I've eaten there (they also have a dining room) and enjoyed their wonderful sugar cookies. Today we were treated to assorted doughnuts which were also wonderful. Our study proceeds through Isaiah, nearing the end with only four more chapters to go. This has been one of the finest studies I've ever been through, and I appreciate so much Pastor's style of leading. We are allowed and even encouraged to tie today's events and situations to the circumstances about which Isaiah was writing. Love it!
 
A haunting sky this a.m.

Justin and I had been thinking about our dinner tonight for a while, having purchased the green beans already before Linda came. It was time to use them up! He really likes my meatloaf so that's what we had tonight, plus baked potatoes to go with our green beans and carrots. He added some honey to the veggies, just enough to add a bit of sweetness to them, but not sticky. So delicious!! We have two and a half of the mini-loaves left for another time, and I look forward to a meatloaf sandwich for lunch tomorrow! 

Another Bible study for me today was the one from last night, broadcast from Martin Luther College. I was to be a host for a group of those wanting to take part in this online study which happened last night. When afternoon came and went with no one indicating they were coming, I just assumed it wasn't going to happen. Justin and I went ahead and had our dinner, following our usual dinner routine. I was pretty tired after my early start to the day with the airport run so going to bed was quite appealing. I could watch the Bible study the 2nd time it was aired last night, not LIVE, but opted to do so today instead.

How interesting this study of Elisha is! I have worksheets with which to follow along but I didn't access them, satisfied to simply listen and watch. Much information is covered in just over an hour's time. This is going to be good! I told Pastor that I was not available to host next week due to Trivia at The Club (passing on Bible study for Happy Hour---sad, yes?) but it would appear that no one was going to come anyway. Nor did anyone show up at church for the session. Hopefully folks are tuning in from home, I had sent out the information and links to access the study earlier yesterday. It would be sad to miss this study when it's so simple to just do from the comfort of one's desk chair, or bed, in my case.
