A Normal Tuesday Night

Last night was a very precious time at our Women's Bible Study at our church where we have just begun Beth Moore's awesome study on Esther. Since this was just the second week of our small group's meeting together, we took the time to share basic information about ourselves and something else about each one of us that no one in the room would know. This led to an hour of sharing, hooting and hollering as we were touched, surprised and even dumbfounded with revelations about our lives. We worked hard to dredge up something that no one knew which was hard since some of us had known each other for decades.

When one member confessed that she was a certified power lifter judge and even had the badge to prove it, everyone totally lost it. (Since I have known this young woman since she was about 10, I was especially surprised.) What could be more joyous than a group of Christian women bonding through sharing & laughing together about our lives. We did eventually go through all of our discussion questions together but we were the last group finished! We all decided that it was worth it to stay late because our heart strings had definitely become entangled through our extra time together.
