Happy Friday!





Thank you to everyone for sharing their honest responses during last night’s live Facebook Party. I know it is hard and for this reason some may have been "holding back." I do want to give everyone the space to share… This study and our time together is a safe place.

The Between Session Personal Study (the yellow pages) are really good this week if you need some “go-to” Bible passages to read, reflect on, and keep fresh in our hearts. We are challenged to choose two or three of the passages and put them in your phone, on a card in your purse or wallet, or in a file in your computer. When the battle against shame heats up, read them, think deeply about them, and believe them! Those of you who have studied with me in the past know how much I love “Verse-Mapping!” Try it with these verses. Here’s the link for those who don’t know what I’m talking about - http://eboniez22.blogspot.com/2016/02/verse-mapping.html

Here are those “Go-To” Shame-Buster Passages...

[Jesus] gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:14)
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13–14)
You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19)
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion. (Psalm 103:2–4)



Love & blessings!

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
