Course 8 Week 1 Main Comments Area
Please post your introductions (unless you did it under the other post), initial comments, questions, social comments, jokes, etc. in the section below.
This term we are going to try to have your comments all mixed together, just to see how that will work. If it does not work well, we will go back to setting up your individual topic areas.

Course 8 Week 1
As always, our first week is an introduction week.
We often use it to just get used to posting and finding our way around.
Most of us have already introduced ourselves several times. You may go back and find an earlier inroduction and just copy and paste it here again. You do need to have one comment telling about yourself.
I have been involved in a writing/speaking/missions ministry for the last several weeks. It has been great to see the Lord provide our needs during this time. Also, a possible trip to Mexico now really is planned for July 6-18th. That's a little about me. What about you?
If you want to start with your book this week. Divide the number of chapters in the book by 8, and that will tell you how many to deal with this week. If you wish to wait till next week to start on it, you will have to divide the number of chapters by 7 at the beginning of that week.
Your first post for you book should give the title of the book and the chapter titles (like the table of contents.) When everyone does this, we have an idea of the overview of each think you are studying.
Basically, though, this week, any comment you make that is 3 or more sentences long will earn points.
So, have fun. Give testimonies. Share prayer requests. "Razz" each other.

Winding up--the practical issues.
Roger and Corey, your courses were a little more on the technical side of things, while, Sean and Tyler, yours were a little more on the practical side of things. However, everything we study can make a difference. As a result of taking your courses, what difference will what you have learned make in yours or someone else's lives? Or, what difference CAN what you have learned make, even if it is not something you can immediately put into practice?
Was there anything you learned that you put into practice in your own ministry during the last eight weeks?
Is there anything on the topics covered that you wish the author or instructor would have covered in more detail? If so, what?
If you would like, you can incoporate some of this thinking into your final comments for this week.

New Course
It will be time to start a new course next Wednesday. I look forward to the "live" preachers' meeting Tuesday night. The last one, where the deacons joined us was great! Bro. Andy Lee will be teaching this time.
Let me know if you need a break or if you will continue on the next term.

1. In your own words of one sentence (or a very short paragraph), what was your course about as a whole?
2. What were three important words in your course?
3. What did you think those words meant before you looked them up in the dictionary? Did your thinking about the meaning of the word change as you went through the course? If so, give your changed definition. What dictionary definition seemed to be closes to your guess for the meaning for each word. Do this for each of three words.
4. What were the major parts of this course for you? (How was the marerial divided up? Don't divide and divide. You should be able to identify any where from 2 to 7 major divisions in your course material. If you need help with this one, email me.

Catch Up Time!
Good morning everyone,
Another storm last night! Hope you all made it well through it.
We can play "catch-up time" now.
Please get your initial posts in for this week: the ones about the titles of your chapters. If you haven't completed the word-detective assignment from an earlier week, you need to get that in. This week's assignment is to try to state what one of your chapters or video lessons was about in one complete sentence.
Have a great day!

Power Back On
Most of us should have our power back on by now. We need to get back into making posts unless tonight's storm takes things out again!

Inland Hurricane
We have had such high winds here, over 100 MPH at times, that many of us have been without power and ways to get online. This is my first day back, and I am only doing this by way of a generator.
If that was the case for you, let me know. We will make some adjustments for the schedule change last week and the first part of this one.
Hope you all are doing well.
