(It could also be used for high school, for sure.) It is AWESOME! You can find it at amazon.com.

Besides it doesn't matter where you worship God! I have even had church on the beach and rocks near the lake. How much closer can you be to God? I think its just having that daily walk with HIM that matters most! Am I preaching it or what!! LOL No matter how you do it Lori you will please HIM!! Love ya sista!!

I think a lot of people struggle with feeling lost and not having their niche in church. But few think to make their own. I have to commend you for hearing God's voice and obeying!<br /><br />I am *trying* to give up sugar for Lent. I did it one year. But this year I am struggling so badly. I have already cheated! Bleah! Cadbury Creme Eggs are my downfall.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470564337562063124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142563208679573460.post-70621998346486052772011-03-15T08:08:44.259-07:002011-03-15T08:08:44.259-07:00Lori you rock!

I really admire you for doing this. I don't feel comfortable in big groups either. Wish I could come to yours though :) I'll ask Tim if he can recommend a book. We have a whole 'library' of those sort of books!<br />I have never seen or tried The Mountain Dew. Tim has tried to give up Coca Cola for lent. He bought some low sugar cheap coke and he said it was horrible!<br />Lindsay<br />xLindsay-annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120356568434114624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142563208679573460.post-31011837717876187432011-03-14T07:31:50.767-07:002011-03-14T07:31:50.767-07:00I've never given up anything for Lent, either,...I've never given up anything for Lent, either, Lorrie...just not something our denomination has ever done, but I can see the positives from it. It's a way of drawing you nearer to God. Good luck with with your journey to give up Mountain Dew...you can do it!:) Starting a Bible study class in your home sounds like such fun...and I'm sure it would be a big hit!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114076859455081016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142563208679573460.post-59488853185940374712011-03-14T06:46:13.033-07:002011-03-14T06:46:13.033-07:00Oh Lori--you will be a great bible study teacher f...Oh Lori--you will be a great bible study teacher for girls! I wished we lived closer so we could come. I gave up electronics for Lent once. It was a great time and my house was never cleaner with all my spare time.

I have a guy in my office who drinks the Dew and he tried giving it up to no avail! I think you are one strong woman and Lori I know you can do it!! Good luck with your Bible Study. Sometimes you find more comfort and learning from smaller bible study groups than going to Church every Sunday. I have nothing against going to Church don't get me wrong, but you have to follow your heart on this. Good Luck to you and Hugs for being you!!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955995520615536271noreply@blogger.com
