Irony



I'm trying to make my blog load faster, but it still seems to take some time!

A Party?



I'll start out with my study today. I studied pages, 21-25, paragraphs, 14-24. It was about how Jesus more then any one else could show us how Jehovah truly is, because of his intimate relationship with Jehovah. And how Jesus teaches us about Jehovah, through illustrations, and by his life's example. And how Jehovah uses Jesus as a live example to teach us who he is. Also that Jesus reflected Jehovah's cardinal attributes Power, Justice, Wisdom and especially Love. Of course his ultimate act of love in his ransom sacrifice. The chapter also said that this book is going to help us to search to know Jehovah.

It is set up so neat! We are going to study thoroughly Jehovah's 4 main attributes, divided into 4 sections of the book. Each section will start out with a explanation of the attribute, then we will read a few chapters on how Jehovah shows the attribute, and in each section one chapter will be on how Jesus exemplified the attribute in his life on earth, and one chapter on how we can apply and exemplify the attribute in our lives.

Also interesting will be the meditation boxes. We are to really meditate on these questions, and do research on them. I think I will use the IT books, and the cross reference in my Bible and study deep these questions. And in fact, I have decided in each chapter that will be all I study for one of the days of my study of the chapter, is the box. I figure to properly meditate on each question in the box, and do the proper research it should take at least 30 minutes to a hour to go through the entire box, which would be a whole study. And since I want this to go deep into my heart, I want to take my time on it. So it will be a study with in itself for me.

Now, for the rest of my day. I went to Wal-mart and stocked up on soda, and Vince stocked up on TGIF's buffalo wings, since at Wal-mart they are only 2.85 a box, and for the exact same box, at Pathmark they are 9.99. We got so much the check out clerk asked if we were having a party. lol

Also from now on I will only do quizzies every other day, because they are kind of making my page load too slowly if I do them every day. So look forward to a quizzie tomorrow! :)

Mystery Illness?



Today I had my third study of Draw Close To Jehovah book-Chapter 2, pages 16-21, paragraphs 1-13. Today was about Jehovah wants us to be his friend. And how he was Abraham's friend. He had the Bible written in a way so that we can understand him, and draw close to him. And he does tenderly care for us.

I also went to the doctor today, he didn't know anything and is sending me to a different doctor, oh joy. I can't go to the other doctor though till the 14th, of August. The rest of the day I just had a lazy day of rest, and sleep. I also got Boston Market food, spinach, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, squash and chicken, some real comfort foods, I tell ya.

And now for the quizzie of the day. What Pet am I? Apparently I am a puppy!

i'm a pup.

Weird



I'm still feeling weird. But, it could just be that time of the month, which I haven't had in about 2 years, and forget what that is like. Vince also thinks I have a fever, but our thermometer is broke. But, I go to the Doctor at 10:30 tomorrow.

I had fun helping Chari with her blog today. YEA! Another blog sister added!

Insightful



I had my second study in Draw Close To Jehovah, pages 11-15, paragraphs, 13-23.

Today it was about Jehovah's name, and it's meaning, and the other titles he is referred to as, and how those titles give us insight into his personality. And why he is Sovereign Lord. Also about his cardinal attributes, love, wisdom, power and justice. And how love predominates all his qualities, since he exercises love in all his ways. And that He truly does want us to draw close to him, and says that he is not far from any of us. He is really the best imaginable Father we could ever have.

I must also say the box on page 14, is really interesting to meditate on.

I am really excited about going through this book and gaining insight and love for Jehovah. I do believe this will draw me the closest to Jehovah then I have even been. I remember the Greatest Man book giving me such insight and true love for Jesus, and more knowledge of Jehovah since Jesus is the reflection of his father. But, this book is just as insightful.

Draw Close



I started my study in Draw Close to Jehovah. I have decided to take it slow and savor the thoughts and scriptures so they will sound down into me. And really think about how to apply what I am learning as I study this book. I am trying to apply this weeks WT lesson, on really studying for the right motives. I will keep a log of my study in here to keep me on track.

Today I studied, pages 7-11, paragraphs 1-12.

So far it is a excellent study book. I can really see this will truly live up to it's title.

Lonely



I'm bored. And I guess every one is away on vacations and at conventions, & Vince has been working over time all week. So I'm kind of lonely too.

Fozzy or Kermit





The first time I took this quizie I was Fozzy. I don't know what changed but now I'm Kermit. lol :)

You are Kermit!
Though you're technically the star, you're pretty mellow and don't mind letting others share the spotlight. You are also something of a dreamer.


Mini blinkers



Now I am making mini mini blinkers here's a few I made tonight:

Nausea!



I forgot I also woke up one of the days of the Convention really nauseated and had to buy Peptobismal. I wonder what's wrong with me.

Good Watchtower Study



This morning I woke up nauseated and upset tummy. I will have to go to the doctor maybe Monday. However, we did make it to meeting any way. YEA! It was a really good Watchtower, on studying, and to truly take in what we study.

I got around to making my winter and spring skins. I made winter, using Irene's Corner, and Graphic Garden, and for Spring I used Mary's Little Lamb. Really talented women. I still need to make my spring archive skin, and I forgot to save my fall archive skin, so I will have to make it too. They are easy to make though. But, I'm feeling a little tired so I will do them later.

I did take a quizzie though, I found out I am Linus from Peanuts.
