Women's Bible Study Thurs. Aug 17

Women's Bible Study Thursday August 17 at Boulevard Apartments in Largo.  Bring a friend!

See below for info on how to find us.  For those who wish to come early and buy some Mexican Food for dinner or a snack, the St. Pete Taco Lady food truck will be at The Boulevard clubhouse. Just let Linda know and we can dine in the outdoor living room if the weather permits.

Now for the REAL food:  For those who wish to prepare or meditate on the passage, we will be studying what it means to think on “things that are lovely”.

Reference text:  “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things" - Philippians 4:8
Companion text: "How lovely is your dwelling place,  Lord Almighty" - Psalm 84:1

If you have time to prepare, here are three thoughts to consider.  We will discuss these questions:
1) The word that is used in Philippians 4:8 for "lovely" is only used here in this one occurrence in the whole New Testament. It is believed to be related to a type of friendship love. (Same root as Philadelphia - brotherly love).  How has the love of other believers positively influenced you on your Christian journey?
2) Psalm 84:1 says "How lovely is your dwelling place,  Lord Almighty".  Why is it lovely?  How do we experience that loveliness in our lives?
3) Loveliness is connected to beauty. Isaiah 61:3 speaks of God giving us beauty for ashes.  What happens if we hold on to the ashes? How does holding on to thoughts that don't align with Philippians 4:8, thoughts that come from our old natures, hinder us? 


How to Find Us

Women's Bible Study and Fellowship at Boulevard Apartments Largo (Seminole Blvd just north of Ulmerton).  Address is 2098 Seminole Boulevard. We meet the first and third Thursdays of every month at 7 PM.

Here's how to get in:  As you drive in, look for a small yellow pole on the left (about 2 car lengths before the actual gates) and use the keypad to dial #307.  That will call us and we will use our phone to acknowledge so you can get in.

After the gates you will see one lower building directly ahead of you. That is the clubhouse.  When you are facing the clubhouse, if you look to the left you will see our building (#3).   There is an elevator.  We are on the 4th floor.

Email, text, or Facebook PM Linda Sargent for more information including apartment # and phone number.

Recent Trip to Rehoboth

A few weeks ago I was blessed to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and my friends in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We had a grand time and returned home with memories, stories, a few extra pounds, souvenirs, and of course pictures. Click on the video to view.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
