RefreshingEDEN making all things new

What was the last experience you had that filled you with awe? What was it about that experience that made it so? When you inventory those experiences, either your own or a group of people, what keeps creeping up over and over is the sense of BIGness, things that are outside of ourself, unexplainable, even unknowable to a certain extent. I don’t think it’s an anomaly that we are physically stopped to speechlessness when we encounter such things. In fact, I think it’s what we’ve been made for. I think it’s what restored Eden is all about. And, what Exodus has been leading us toward. It not just about rescue, but about restoration. Good news!

EX lesson 11

We begin our study of Exodus on Sept 15, 2010. Watch for lesson lectures to be posted that same week. And you are always welcome to join us!

I’ve always wanted more of a name. Over the years I’ve tried inventing middle names for myself. Elizabeth. Anne. Joy. They just never stuck. Yet there continues to be a niggling inside me that says I’m more than just Jill. And I’m beginning to discover that I may be on to something. There is something more to me. And to you. I’m on a journey to find that new name and in the process I’m seeing with fresh eyes just what we’re meant to be. It’s exciting. And scary. But who doesn’t long for Eden? It’s my new destination. And maybe even my new name.

You’re welcome to tag along. I’ll just give one warning. I’m finding this trip requires me to let go of a lot of baggage I’ve been carrying with me. And it’s really nice baggage! Same thing might happen to you. At least we’ll be in it together. Which is just what Eden likes.

So what exactly will you find on this blog?

My own thoughts on the passages of Scripture I’m currently studying. Maybe some detours. Surely some photos. And a link to the audio lessons I’m teaching in class. These will be un-edited and raw, so you’ll not always hear the class responses, but the teaching will be loud and clear.

Hoping to be . . .

Renewed.

Re-invigorated.

Refreshed.

NEW FEATURE:  Book Reviews

Occasionally I will post reviews on booksI am currently reading. My typical non-fiction choices are from the Christian Ministry genre or biographies. My fiction books span a wide range. Look for the reviews on the left hand side-bar under:      BOOK REVIEWS!
