MM&L and a First for Annabeth

Hi ladies! This week has been quite a ride! We are so excited about our summer study and we love how excited you are, too. It's been really fun seeing all of your pictures. I squealed when the group pics started rolling in late Tuesday night.

I have a few new details about our summer Bible study:

A) Jennifer Rothschild, the author of Me Myself & Lies, has a blog!

B) Jennifer wrote a song based on Psalm 19 called "Let the Words." Her hope was that women would connect with the song and use it to reinforce the idea of words (like the ones we say to ourselves) being "acceptable to you, Oh Lord." A free MP3 download of the song and a music video are available here.

C) LifeWay has provided a free download of the first week of homework for anyone who doesn't have their book just yet. You can get it here.

I've done my MM&L study the last two mornings and it is already impacting me so much. I don't know about you, but I really need this. Mom and I had lunch at a cute little tea room today and we had our own discussion about our thought closets. That was nice because I had to miss my group's first meeting. (Jackson was sick, but he's all better now.)

By the way, Mom and I looked like lunatics at the restaurant because we took pictures the whole time. How could we not document and therefore blog about Annabeth's first lunch at a tea room? When Mom grabbed a tiny tea cup off a shelf and positioned it in Annabeth's hand for a photo op, I thought we were going to get kicked out. Thankfully we didn't. If I'd had to miss out on coconut cake because of her misbehavior, it would not have been pretty.

Here are some pictures from Annabeth's first tea room experience - the first of many.







Annabeth with the cup that my mom was apparently willing to purchase today. It was a very risky two seconds.



Praise the Lord.

Melissa, we will go again when you're here!
