We start seriously considering the material you are being exposed to this week.
For your first post this week, please give us the title of your book, and list the table of contents.
For your second post, list the titles of the chapters you will be studying this week. (To figure that out, take the number of chapters in the book, and divide that number by six. That answer will give you the number of chapters you need to cover each week. If you have a decimal following the whole number, you have the option of deciding the number of chapters you will do this week. For instance, if you come up with 4.5, you will do either 4 or 5 chapters this week.)
Give us this information as quickly as possible, so we can ask you questions that will help you focus on some things to say in the comments' area.
You may make more than two comments a day too.

Happy Fourth
We had a good family day yesterday and watched fireworks last night.
This morning, I preached at Ezra Church of God in West Frankfort, IL.
I am thankful for the Godly heritage of our nation. I recently read about someone who came here from Romania, I think it was. He said, in _________________(whatever place it was), they have the freedom to read the Bible and to pray in the public schools now. He also said, that he cannot understand why the U.S. seems to be going in the direction that __________________ used to be in.
Another friend says the state of our country is like it is because we are getting what we deserve.
May we as a nation wake up and return to our former heritage.

Making Comments
Sometimes students in these courses are intimidated by making comments, yet, some of those same students are avid Facebook or Myspace users. I don't quite understand, then. What we are doing here is the same thing. The only difference is that the comments have to be about what we are studying. (However, during the first and last weeks of our 8-week terms, they don't even have to be about the books.)
When we comment early in the week, we can go back and forth, agree or disagree with the author, find ways to apply what we are studying, and so forth.
It can be great!
Looking forward to our conversations this term.
If anyone would like to join us this term, just send an email to rcarneysurvey@yahoo.com, and I will tell you how to get started. When can accept new enrollees up until the end of the second week. After that, things are just too far gone for this term in order for the student to catch up. We currently are 5/7 of the way through the first week. people who enroll today or tomorrow can catch up very easily.

Posting Ideas
This is an introduction week.
We are practicing getting around in the posting area. Having trouble coming up with 9 posts? Here are a few ideas.
(Remember to make your posts at least 3 sentences long.)
1. Tell us what the name of your book is. Tell us what you think might be some of the best things you could get from it.
2. List the Table of Contents of the book.
3. Ask you fellow student and instructor one or more questions. (Up to three posts where you ask questions may be less than three sentences long.)
4. Answer your fellow students questions (with posts of 3 or more sentences).
5. If you have a really long comment, try breaking it into two or more ideas and making more than one post.
6. (Optional) Pick a chapter or two from your book, and start writing comments about that (those) chapters.
7. Be creative. Remember, this week your posts can be about almost anything thing. In the next few weeks, they will have to be more specific tho the course materials.
Maybe this will help!

Ministry in Japan
My wife and I have been in Hokkaido, Japan, for the last two weeks. The first Sunday evening that we were here, I preached in Saroma, Hokkaido, Japan. (Hokkaido is the island just north of Honshu. Tokyo is located in Honshu. Sapporo, where our son and his family live is located in Hokkaido.)
Last Sunday I preached at the Miharashidai Chapel in Ebetsu, Hokkaido,
Japan. The service was good, and I am very grateful for the interpretation provided by missionary, Nathan Snow, who has the regular preaching duties for this church.
After church, we had a meal with the congregation. It was good to fellowship with them. I got to hear the stories from three of them about when and how they came to Christ.
Next Sunday morning, I will be preaching at the Koinonia church in Sapporo. Then in the afternoon, I will preach again at another church in the area. Missionary, Debbie Griffin, will be interpreting for me both times that day.
If you would like to know more about the ministry here in this part
of Japan, you could go to http://fwbgo.com and then click on the country of Japan; or you could click on some of the missionaries' names, such as Rusty and Brenda Carney (my son and his wife), Josh and Alicia Crowe, Nathan and Linda Snow, Debbie Griffin, and Shannon Little.
