Last night was our first time to meet for our summer Bible study!  Throughout the school year on a Monday or Thursday night, in the past and in the evenings, I have hosted a Bible study and for quite a few years.  Usually, I am involved with a summer Bible study.  However, in the past I have been involved with a summer Bible study that meets during the day.  I have even hosted a Bible study during the day in the summer in my home.  This summer, rather than being involved in a daytime Bible study,...

In my sidebar each week I am hoping I will have adventured upon a new eating establishment or new menu item, that my taste buds had not previously had the privilege to consider "So Licious". That being said, we did not eat out or indulge in anything other than what we made at home this week, so my sidebar will stay the same until such time.
