I do get reminded when I hear an ambulance of fire truck.  My family will bow our heads and pray for these folks.  I would like it if they would do that for me if I were in the situation.

How nice to think of your family doing this, Sonja.  Yes, it's so important.

Hi everyone

Lee thanks for the advice I will start using the ( eh) as much as possible.  So you really think I will need it...eh!

Larry good to know you got the walk in before the coffee break.  

The Bible study I am in is named BSF International.  The BSF stands for Bible Study Fellowship.  The Headquarters is located in San Antonio, Texas.  The study is segregated for men only and women only and now they have a children's study for both boys and girls.

There are many of these studies located in many cities in several countries.  The men always meet on Monday night, and always have the same study lesson.  If you are away from your city and will be in a city that has BSF you can go to that one, in fact you are expected to attend.  The women have day classes and night classes and have the same study lesson as the men.

The BSF was started many years ago, I think in the early 1960's by A. Wetherell Johnson who was a returning Missionary and some ladies wanted her to start a Bible Study.  She said she would, but the ladies would study the word and would come to talk seriously about the Bible.  They would have assignments for each of the 6 days plus notes to read she had written for the prior weeks lesson.

God got into this in a big way and it has now spread to many locations.  It is free for any one of any denomination to participate.  They do ask for free will offerings to cover the cost of the use of the meeting place (most meetings are held in Churches willing to provide the rooms needed) and the cost of the printing of the lessons.  We have many that give regularly to the expenses of the headquarters both financially and by going down and working a week or two.

The meetings are all organized the same.  We meet at 7 PM in a large group for two songs, announcements and prayer by the Lecturer.  We then go to our assigned classes usually about 12 men where a Leader leads us in discussion of the 6 study lessons of the week.  We then gather back in assembly at 8 PM for the 30 minutes of lecture on the Lessons.  We currently have over 150 men meeting every Monday night.

There are 7 different studies, so it takes 7 years to complete the entire group of lessons.  

I wrote all this and then it dawned on me, you can get better information on their web site.  
So I went to Google and got it.  
Here it is.

Joyce You mentioned a desire to concentrate more on the word, BSF might have something in your area.

I would recommend it for anyone wanting to get into a study and fellowship with others that wants to learn more about our God.

Now on a lighter note.  The below web site features Elvis (you all remember and know about Elvis)  Click on the site, turn up your sound and sing along.

Sorry this is more for us older folks, but you others can click, you will probably be old some day.

Yippee  I get to go to Walmart tomorrow. Willa and I were going to go to Eureka to shop tomorrow but she called a little while ago and asked if I wanted to go to Crescent City.

That is where the nearest WalMart is located. So Willa and her daughter, g-daughter and Me are going to Crescent City.

I will try to take some photos along the way. Chris we will be going right through Orick and the same trail you took coming down this way. Maybe I can get a pic of the Elk at Orick.

Another meeting tonight - this one was the village Planning Board and I get paid for it.    

It was snowing lightly when I left and when I tried to stop on the hill to turn into the village hall driveway, my ABS brakes chattered like crazy, stopping me slowly on the slippery road.  And by the time the meeting was over, about an hour and a half, there was a good inch of snow on the ground and it was coming down really heavy - enough to make visibility very poor with side streets hard to find.   It's only three miles, though and the Lord was with me all the way home where Gene was waiting in my nice warm and dry trailer.  God is good!

Work tomorrow morning but by then the roads should be cleared.  

Hello all!!  We were out and about most of the day, so I wasn't able to get in here.

Now, I am tired, and we have another long day tomorrow.  The Basic Skills Dept. I work in is having their GED/Adult High School graduation tomorrow, and Bernard is playing prelude, Pomp and Circumstance, and then he and I will play the postlude together (piano/trumpet duet thingy).  

Taking Travis swimming in the morning, if we can get the ice chipped off the top (hahahahahaha -- just kidding, indoor pool), so I had better go get stuff ready.

Speaking of swimming, wonder how Janet is faring, 'bout right now?

Time to lock the door on yet another day.

Here's a link for you all to tomorrow's topic...
