Hey all, Geoff here. I wanted to make folks aware of this pretty amazing Bible study I found. It's free and learn-at-your-own-pace, and done by some of the best Bible scholars I know of. It can be found here. I recommend at least going through the course titled "Covenant Love", though they're all quite worth it. God bless you all, and I hope you enjoy it.

So I know I haven't done Bible study since mid or late January. I should have told people before hand, but I'm not very good at that. It's one of the areas I need to work on. Why I haven't been able to do Bible study is primarily because I've been taking care of my 91 year old grandmother. That is my job. In fact, this post has not been written all at once, but has been broken up between my checking on grandma. Basically, I have to make sure she stays hydrated and gets some exercise. If she doesn't keep up with the hydration, then her blood pressure drops, she passes out, and the paramedics are called in. The first Bible study I missed (on Jan 24th) was because grandma had passed out that very day. Praise the Lord that my experiences in the Boy Scouts taught me how to respond in emergency situations and that I was able to get help quickly. The other Bible studies I've missed have been because I'm the only one home with grandma and have to start working on the evening meal around the time of Bible study. Until I figure out how to ensure that I am able to adequately take care of grandma while running Bible study, I'm afraid that it will be sporadic--limited to those Fridays when I'm not the only one around to look after her. I'll try to be around on the forums a bit more and on skype when I can. Blessings and peace! ~Direlda

So Bible study will be happening this Friday, December 20th! We are on Jeremiah chapter 27. The times are as follows: Friday, Dec 20 at 4:30pm Pacific Timezone Friday, Dec 20 at 5:30pm Mountain Timezone Friday, Dec 20 at 6:30pm Central Timezone Friday, Dec 20 at 7:30pm Eastern Timezone Friday, Dec 20 at 8:30pm Atlantic Timezone Saturday, Dec 21 at 12:30am British Timezone Saturday, Dec 21 at 12:30am Central European Timezone Saturday, Dec 21 at 8:30am Korean Timezone Remember this is done through Skype and I record these things for the community's benefit. This will be the last Bible study of 2013, as I will be driving down to my parents' house on the last Friday in December. We will resume the second week of January.

So I'm going on vacation starting "tomorrow" and will be gone for a few weeks. But luckily for you, Jude and Wolfin agreed to do a joint series on the crowns in the Bible at the same Bible study time during my absence! ^^ So while you won't be getting Jeremiah for the next few weeks, there will still be a Bible study. You should hop on Skype at the right time and join in. I'd join if I could, as it sounds rather interesting. But right now I need to finish packing the last few things so that I can get a few hours of sleep. And I'll be on a plane as they start off this interim series. Blessings and peace! ~Direlda

Bible study for this week will be on Jeremiah 14! (Yeah, I know I haven't done a good job of posting times...) The times are as follows: Friday, May 31 at 4:30pm Pacific Timezone Friday, May 31 at 5:30pm Mountain Timezone Friday, May 31 at 6:30pm Central Timezone Friday, May 31 at 7:30pm Eastern Timezone Friday, May 31 at 8:30pm Atlantic Timezone Saturday, Jun 1 at 12:30am British Timezone Saturday, Jun 1 at 12:30am Central European Timezone Saturday, Jun 1 at 8:30am Korean Timezone Remember this is done through Skype and I record these things for the community's benefit. Also, I will be going on vacation June 21/22 through at least July 12/13. It sounds like there will be a study on the crowns in the Bible going on in my absence, but I need to confirm with the people who would be doing it. Finally, as I return to the States (for an indefinite period) in July, we might want to consider moving the Bible study time to make it more conducive to those in Europe. Blessings and peace! ~Direlda
