My in-laws bought my wife and me mntihcag ESV study Bibles for Christmas and we have been reading/studying from it primarily this year. Loving it! I grew up with King James, I read it in my youth,I read it in my Sunday school,It’s how I learned the truth (bonus points for anyone who can name that tune)But then I got into Bible bowl at age 12 or so and discovered NIV. Spent years and years there, then I realized I was allowed to read other translations. My wife just bought me a pocket-sized Holman Christian Standard Bible a week ago Saturday and I’m loving it, too!So now my favs are (in no particular order) ESV, NLT, NASB, NCV, HCSB, and the old standby, Mr NIV (I actually got to where I didn’t care at all for the NIV, but I think I was just burned out on it). I also dig the Message. I’ll have to try God’s Word version.Great post. May I steal your idea, Trey?

Comment on Book Review: A Proverbs Driven Life by Majorial

the Proverbs 31 woman most likely didn’t get all that acmecplishod everyday, it was over a lifetime. And there are many times in our life that rising early in the morning may be counterproductive. If you have babies, you need that sleep! September, you’re welcome! We are all at different stages and in different seasons of life.Lisa, what a blessing! Not every woman can say that.Cassandra, she is a real live, living, breathing friend of mine. She is a blessing. I’ve known her for 8 years now and just in the past few years did I realize that she is a Proverbs 31 woman! You wouldn’t automatically think it by passing her in the store. She doesn’t stand out, it’s what she does in her home. It’s how she loves her husband and children. And again, you don’t have to garden to be a Proverbs 31 woman! hmmm… another post is coming to mind You all are such a blessing! Thank you!

Choosing the right adult bible study curriculum and planning your small group ministry starts with dreaming big. While the dreaming phase is a lot of fun and is very important at some point we have to get to work. That starts in this lesson. Once you have a vision for what you want things to look like at the end you need to begin to plan the steps that will get you to where you want to be. Then you have to work those steps.
