  • We have a very diverse group here, so we want to always treat each others ideas with love and respect. Please treat others like you would like to be treated.
  • We’re here to encourage each other and hold each other accountable. I’ll have little coffee breaks on Facebook along the way to see how you’re doing. I promise to be truthful, and hope that you’ll participate and let us know how you’re doing as well.

Weekend-Break Time!

I like to break from my regular study on the weekends. Take a break however you like, or here are some suggestions:
  • Saturday- Psalms 1 or Proverbs 1:1-19
  • Sunday- Psalms 2 or Proverbs 1:20-33

Do you find it hard to study the Bible?

It doesn’t have to be.

Let me help you learn a technique for studying that makes it simple. Join me as we study one chapter each week and memorize two verses of scripture each month.

You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes in your life.
