We will see what everyone wants - let the comments begin. 

I'm excited for May! 

Six of us so far . I'm praying for direction from God on how this is going to go. I know his will is for us to know him and his ways better, so all these wonderful words of wisdom in Proverbs are going to affect our lives in a powerful way and those around us as we share.

The easy part is to read it -the hard part is to apply it to our lives and make changes. 

Not too late - anyone can start at anytime in the month.  You will always know we are on the chapter that is the same as that day's date.

I did my reading for the day - how about everyone else? I mentor teens and the verses that stood out were  Proverbs 1: 10-19 about peer pressure but also for me 5 let the wise (that is me, hopefully) listen and add to their learning.

Welcome all -we are on Proverbs 7 and if you haven't yet posted your name as accepting the challenge, please do so at any time of the month even if you join later.  I feel that it holds you accountable.

Wow- chapter after chapter here on guarding your heart especially against sexual immorality - it is there so I'll discuss it. 

6:23-33 his shame will never be wiped away ---Tho the sin of adultery can be forgiven as with all other sins, in this one the shame remains for the scars are never completely removed.  That is the big problem with sin- the effect on those around us and the consequences that remain. At the time those aren't the things that we are thinking about  - we are "in the moment".

Because of these far-reaching and horrifying consequences on all involved - we need to run (thats it strap on your running sandals)  from every  temptation and don't put your self in situations that could lead to this sin.

1-be firml;y committed to all that God says is right and good

2- don't go there - not in body, thoughts, eyes, etc - what do you read, what do you watch, what do you think about?

3-understand that this sin leads to sorrow, regret, and death

Be like Joseph in Genesis 39 - he recognized that ultimately this was a sin against God. 

Today is the 18th so we are on Proverbs 18.  We just post something when it hits us and I put something on weekly.. It isn't like we really know how to pull this off on the internet so I just hope everyone is (silently) doing their readings. Speak up people!!!

We will just learn as we go and perhaps can come up with a fab way of conducting a Bible Study on AR. God knows the heart! 

I posted some proverbs on Real Estate Proverbs.

How is everyone else doing on their study?

Today is May 23 - so we are on Proverbs 23. Post something if you feel inclined to share a nugget of wisdom, how you used something you learned, what stood out to you. 

 Welcome Mary!!!!

Cyberspace sounds scary. 

What does everyone else want - do Proverbs over or start something new?

Type it out I can't read minds.... 

You are cooking today - Alexander Harb.

 Just think how hot it is in Hell .

Proverbs 26:27

Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

Modern Day sayings that may correspond:

What goes around, comes around.

Shooting yourself in the foot.

What you give out, you get back.

Open mouth, insert foot. 

Proverbs 27:17

As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. 

Proverbs 30:11-14 There is a generation that curses its father and does not bless its mother. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, yet it is not washed from its filthiness.  There is a generation - oh, how lofty are their eyes!...There is a generation whose teeth are like swords...

 Are we that generation? 

Ahhhh, last day and we have THE VIRTUOUS WIFE now that leaves me with a lot to strive for.

Thanks for hanging in there, I hope everyone  rose up to meet the ""Challenge" and if not now you have a whole month to read the Proverbs you missed.

God bless you and keep you and may his face shine upon yours (paraphrase by Kathleen)  - look up!!
