cherdecor at cherdecor --Oops! I first said cherdecor did not have a blog. I was wrong. She does and you can find her right there at that link. go on over and visit her! Sorry!
I hope all of these ladies, and all the rest of you, will study along with us in the Fall Bible Study here at Cherish...the word! There are several ways you can participate. I have talked in some detail, about this here. Briefly, you can:
• Find a group near you to enjoy the study in real life. Come to Cherish on Wednesdays and link your post in which you comment about your experiences with your group and in your own individual study of the Word.
• Get a book from Lifeway or Amazon and study along with us with just the book. You will miss the blessing of Beth's video messages, but you will definitely get the meat of the study. Link up with us on Wednesday and tell us about your Bible study experiences.
• Use the book and study along with us. Download the videos or the audio version of Beth's message. Come to Cherish on Wednesdays and link your post with your discussion of your Bible study experience for the week.
I am looking forward to this experience. It is definitely an experiment and a challenge for me. I started the study myself this past week. OH! MY! GOODNESS! It is going to be great! I did the first day's work on the plane coming back from Texas. I'll tell you about that in a post in a few days. Just know I had me some worship time on that plane going over the Mississippi River!
I WILL BE STARTING MY POSTS FOR THE BIBLE STUDY ON SEPTEMBER 5. WE WILL START THE LINKING UP PARTICIPANT POSTS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
Hope you choose to join us!
I hope you will decide to join us.

I will leave this post up until next Thursday, 8/30. Then I will either have a drawing or use a random number generator to pick the winners--depending on how many participate. (I'm not making a ginormous number of little slips with names on them like I did for the last giveaway!)

I am going to Texas to visit my brother. He has been diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer and is in the process of beginning radiation and chemo. My sister--who also lives in Texas but not in the same city--and I decided to go visit him this weekend. Our stepsister, who lives near my brother, will also be with us. We are going to love on him and give him our support as he begins this battle. He had surgery last year for this cancer. At his spring check-up there was no sign of cancer. Last week his doctors found that it had returned.
I wrote about my brother and his wife when they celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in July. He is my only brother and is very special in my life. I am praying that God will use these doctors to provide a miracle. I love him and his whole precious family so very much.
This is going to be a quick trip. Some of you have read about my husband's illness. It is not easy for me to decide to be gone for several days. However, our sons will be with Lee while I am gone. He will be well cared for. I think they're planning a MAN Weekend! That's means non-stop sports--talk, TV, fantasy team strategizing, reminiscing about their own "glory days", etc! They probably won't even notice I'm gone!
You're not likely to see a post from me this weekend. I may be around reading and commenting a little bit. I'll be back early next week. Please keep my whole family in your prayers this weekend.
My plane leaves in 8 hours. I need to get some sleep!

Yes, I said FIVE!
Five of these!
This is the description of this new study from Lifeway's on-line catalog:"Discover the parallels of the Tabernacle’s building and your life as a chosen vessel of God.
While the title is familiar, the content for this in-depth video teaching series is all new and rich in detail.
Taken primarily from the Book of Exodus, A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place by Beth Moore will take you on a fascinating journey into why God would chose to live in a wilderness tabernacle, made by human hands.
Taped in Beth’s home church in Houston, this updated edition of A Woman’s Heart contains all new video footage and exciting new graphics. Regardless of whether you studied Beth Moore’s first LifeWay study years ago, you’ll find A Woman’s Heart well worth another visit."

Ready for A Bible Study Blessing?!
Seems there is always a giveaway going on somewhere in the Blogosphere. Wasn't that a fun time last week?! I have sent books off today to two winners from my giveaway. They both chose Beth Moore's latest book, Get Out of That Pit. I know they will receive a blessing from that book.
If you have never studied the Bible with Beth Moore, you will want to stay tuned here at Cherish...the word! I will soon be announcing an event that will start in September. I gave you a little hint at the end of my post here last week. I would like to give you a little more information today.
I have enjoyed studying with Beth through several of her Bible studies and plan to work through the latest one, A Woman's Heart this fall with some friends here at my home. This is a newly released study that is an up-date of the original A Woman's Heart which was produced in the 90s and was Beth's first video Bible study.
I want to share this experience with blogging friends. Therefore, I'm working on a plan to do that. I was going to wait until the middle of August to tell you about it, but couldn't resist using last week's giveaway as an opportunity to let you know it was coming.
I am looking forward now to the completion of a button that we will use. Susie at Bluebird Blogs is working on it for me. She will have it to me by the middle of the month in tiime for the kick-off for Fall Bible Study at Cherish...the Word! We will begin sharing our study in early September.
If you have an opportunity to join a Bible study group near you that is using this particular Beth Moore study, I encourage you to sign up. If you don't know of a group in your neighborhood or town, you can look on the Bible Study Bulletin Board at LPM Ministries. You might find one near you. When we kick off the blogging friends study I will give you some more suggestions for ways to work along with us in this study. It should be an awesome time in the Word.
This will be really fun and a blessing to all of us. Stay tuned for more. There will be some giveways coming up in conjunction with the kick-off. We all love a giveaway--We certainly learned that last week!
And Speaking of Giveaways!
Here's One More !
5 Minutes for Mom is Giving One of Us
a 37″ Flat-Panel LCD HDTV!!!
I think everyone in Bloggityville intends to win this TV. Yep! 'm one of them. But, it's OK with me if you go over to 5 Minutes for Mom and put your name in also. I' m generous that way!
We have Best Buy to thank for this great prize!

we are giving away two great books.
Yay! Twice the Fun!
That's right! I am offering you the opportunity to have one of these two wonderful books by Beth Moore. (click on each book for a description). If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, you might like to go here to learn about her ministry. Beth is a Bible teacher who loves leading women to a deeper, more meaningful walk with the Lord. She is an energetic Godly child of The Father, wife, mother, and grandmother who felt God's call early in life. She has used her gifts and talents of writing and teaching to honor that call in a wonderful way.
It has been my privilege to use several of Beth's Bible studies in my own journey with the Lord. I have been blessed every time. I would like to share some of that blessing with you.
• You will be entered once each day for every day you leave a comment this week. That means you can be entered up to five times--once for each day, Monday through Friday.
• Comments will be closed at Noon on Friday, Central Daylight Time. (Check the clock on my sidebar for the correct CDT)
• The drawing will be held shortly after comments are closed.
• I will have a trusted sidekick, aka my precious husband, draw the names of two winners.
• I will notify the winners via email and ask which book you would like to have. I'm offering two titles; the winners get to choose. It's OK if both winners want the same book!
• You do not have to have a blog to win.
• You do not have to be a US resident. I know, I know, the shipping, but I just can't say no. So, I'll take care of the shipping. :-)
• Be sure to check back on Friday afternoon to find out if you won!
Oh yes, we will have fun!
There will be laughter, maybe some tears,
praying, Bible reading, and
even a couple of little giveaway treats!
Most importantly, there will be
blessed Bible study with some sisters!
Don't you just want to go get your Bible
and a cup of coffee/tea right now and get started!
I can't wait to tell you how we are going to do this.
I'm going to wait, because I don't have it all
completely organized yet.

Excuse me,
Before you leave I'd like to share one more thing--
Before you leave I'd like to share one more thing--
I have a special reason for offering these particular books in this giveaway event. I was not quite ready to announce an upcoming event at Cherish...the word!, but when Shannon came up with this brillant giveaway idea I just couldn't resist. I saw this as an excellent way to introduce, or reintroduce, you to Beth Moore. You see, I'm going to host an event at Cherish...the word! soon. You are invited to join us. If you participate, I predict it will bless your socks off! I don't have all of the details worked out yet, but, so far, it is all falling into place very nicely. Keep checking in; you will see an announcement sometime in the next two or three weeks about the event coming in September.
Here's a hint--
Oh yes, we will have fun!There will be laughter, maybe some tears,
