It saddens me that it seems people were too busy for the Bible Study and fellowship today. I went to Jimmy's house and we waited 15 minutes or so. Then I decided it was time to get things going so it would just be me and Jimmy. Well I guess not because he was too busy webcamming with Jenna and talking to Wendy. He didn't feel like doing it. I sat in his basement and did a few questions alone, hoping someone would join me, but I decided it was time to go because I couldn't take the IM noises going on in his room.
The past church services have mentioned fellowship in just about every service. How important it is for the church and such. Its sad that one time a week for fellowship is too much of a hassle to put into one's schedule. I guess maybe its time I just forget trying to have a group around my age meet and hope there is enough going on at the church.
We are supposed to love one another and show interest in each other's lives and have fellowship. I just want to be able to do that.. It seems others will only do it if you keep nagging them about it. I'm tired of having to call and haveing to nag people to come and do something we are commanded to do. Is this too much?

Isn’t it funny that on the same night, nine hundred miles away, I enjoyed an incredible time of connecting with eight other believers concerning these important issues?:
- We all have personal stories that define our lives.
- We are all somewhat unsure about what we are doing in life.
- We need to exercize faith more.
I was a member of a group where I found acceptance and encouragement, were I was able to contribute to the discussion, and were I was able to learn directly from the Bible about what God’s will for His people is.
Why dont you get that from your group? I have no clue. Just keep praying and realize that forward motion has to lead somewhere.
Weird, isn’t it? What’s up with that?
Off the record (can one be “off the record” when putting something in print? hmmm), I think age segregation has its good points, but I prefer to be around believers of all ages. I’ve met younger Christians who are more mature believers than I am, at least in some areas (Christa’s mercy and compassion come to mind) and older ones who are still baby Christians in some ways. We need each other. I say throw out the age limits after 10th grade. Just a thought.
Grace & peace,

I’m new to finding Jesus but I am very lucky where I live in a community and attend Bible Study minimum 3 times a week plus an awesome church I attend.
I do hope more people understand the real reason we are here.
I’m also putting my life into helping people to get to know Jesus for that is what God needs us to do.
Sincerely
