I don’t know if I’m doing this right or not.
I feel like I’m going to really grow spiritually with the Foundations class. I’m excited about it.
Hi to everyone. I am so sorry that I was unable to make it to the session last night. I’m having an ‘unusual’ time at work and am having to spend extra time there to get some things taken care of. I’ve been keeping up with our study guide and I recited all three verses to my Mom yesterday at lunch. She was pretty strict in making me repeat the verses word for word. She is a wonderful lady! Let me know what was discussed and where the meeting will be next week. I should be able to be there. See you all Sunday. I work the early morning service in childcare. cc
