LESSONS FROM THE PAST.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE SOME DIRECTION IN LIFE.

I think if we looked at the Bible as a book of stories about God and faith and the lessons a group of people learned on their life journey; we would not get so uptight about it. Our ladies Bible study group that meets at Colebrook every other Wednesday is now studying a book called "Wisdom for Today's Woman." The chapters look interesting, responding wisely and choices have consequences etc. etc. But I have a feeling that if we were to have the author in the room with us we would often disagree with her. We answer the questions from where we are in our spiritual journey and have the freedom to discuss and to laugh together.

I have been reading about Benjamin Franklin and his thoughts on self-improvement. He strongly believed that we need to study and to read and to be open to change. No one can tell another person they need to change it must come from within themselves when the time is right for them.
