To see so many heads bowed and hands raised of all different shapes, colors and ages... is breath taking... wish I could have been there... Much Love from Singapore... Camille
Beth, we anxiously await to see you in Fargo, ND next week. Children of Zion, celebrate!
Be glad in your GOD.
He’s giving you a teacher
to train you how to live right—
Teaching, like rain out of heaven, showers of words to refresh and nourish your soul, just as he used to do.
And plenty of food for your body—silos full of grain, casks of wine and barrels of olive oil.
(Joel 2:21-24 The Message)
I love the Body ~ and I love the Bridegroom.
Thanks for sharing,

I sooooo enjoyed Deeper Still! The message you shared, Beth, was awesome and the story you shared about Hannah blew my mind! ONLY GOD COULD DO SUCH THINGS! He is "beyond beyond" AMAZING!!!! Thanks so much for feeding us. My prayer is for God to continue to change my heart to desire pure fellowship with Him... to seek and enjoy HIS PRESENCE continually! Would love to have the words to the commissioning prayer you read over us at the end!
Thanks again!

To Stephanie (jar of clay) -
I hope you see this.....I didn't know how else to reach out to you. My heart is broken for your friends, the Hensons. I have followed Maggie's caringbridge page and prayed for them daily since you shared about the accident. I will continue to keep them in my prayers.....without a doubt, this is the hardest thing there is.
With love,
Pam
Welcome to my hometown!
Many blessings,
Beth
This was the first Women's Event I have ever been to. I was so excited to be there but for the past few weeks I have felt like there has been a dark cloud hanging over me. It would come and go and then it just stayed. I wanted to hear a fresh Word this weekend and boy did I. I listened to Kay's message and it was great! I listened to Priscilla's message and loved it! But I still had that glum feeling even though I was enjoying myself and the messages being presented. Then it was your turn. I asked God to really help me figure out what was wrong and let Him speak through you to help me. When I heard you say that you changed your message that morning I got excited inside. Was this going to be my answer? And boy it was! I need to enjoy the pure fellowship of His Presence! That was it! Fellowship is not equal to indepth Bible Study. Why have I missed this? You're message hit the nail on the head.
Beth, Thank you for serving God and helping so many of us!
I could write so much more about what an AWESOME time this event was but I don't want to take up the whole blog :)
So I'll leave it at this,
I had a limit for this event in what to get out of it, you ladies went beyond and God went beyond, beyond!
Thanks Again! See you in a year at LPL in Richmond, VA!

Words simply can't express just what a life changing event this "Deeper Still" was to me. Thank you for purposefully seeking to help us women go deeper still. I am forever changed. Praise be to the Lord, my God.
What an incredible God experience. I was given a ticket by a friend at the last minute and honestly I was overwhelmed by what God was speaking to me through these ladies. Each lady had their own unique way of delivering their message but I was given these words by each... God can do more than we can imagine, give more abundately than our minds can perceive. These words were exactly what I needed to hear during a trying time in my life. Thank you to the team that created and performed this conference and thank you Lord for meting me at my need and giving me so much more!
Joy in the morning! A lump in my throat, tears on my face, a hunger in my heart to know and love Him more- all tangible evidence that He is Alive- and all of this from viewing this precious clip from the Deeper Still weekend. Thank you so much for starting my day in a glorious way!!
Love to you all at LPM,
Fran
When I left the Generations conference on Friday afternoon to head to the Greensboro Coliseum for Deeper Still, I thought I was so full that I would be able to hold another thing...but I was wrong! Deeper Still was all that you can see in the pictures and more. Some of my favorite memories: The Journey videos, Priscilla's Am I Jesus? story, the closing songs...but my favorite has to be the Beth and Priscilla rap. You guys rock!
Now I really can't wait for the LPL simulcast!!
Awesome work of God.... what a weekend.... thanks to Lifeway and every person that was obedient to the call for this conference....AMAZING..... May I keep my focus on the Lord, never forget that HE IS ABLE TO GO BEYOND, BEYOND, and He is my bread of life..... Praying for my relationship to go DEEPER STILL.

I attended the Deeper Still conference in Greensboro this weekend. I am 20 years old and about to begin my junior year in college. This conference was challenging, motivating, and truly life-changing. Thanks to Beth and Priscilla and Kay for speaking TRUTH and for sharing scripture in such a way as to speak directly into my life. God is calling me to go deeper still and to trust Him with some huge decisions in my life right now. For a while I've been in a place of desperation for God, but this weekend's conference gave that desperation direction -- right to the Word of God. It's changing everything. Thank you.
By looking at the faces of those women, God was definitely at Greensboro this weekend. I can only imagine what an awesome time of praise and worship as well as opening the Scripture to the truths the Holy Spirit had to reveal. Those pictures, while listening to the absolutely awesome song of "Jesus Saves" gives me chill bumps. I will be participating in the simulcast the 28th and 29th of August with Beth and her team. I can hardly wait. I have started praying for God to give us all a "special touch" that weekend. Wow, our God is Awesome!!
I am speechless. All I can say is,
WOW!!!!!
Oh, what a memory! And now begins the process of digesting it all & living it out. The challenge is great but our God is greater! He is BEYOND BEYOND! This conference was refreshing, challenging, uplifting, fun, but most of all, saturated with Scripture taught by women of 3 generations who LOVE God & LOVE His Word! Praise God for Priscilla, Kay, & Beth as well as Travis & his team who led the most amazing worship times!
Beth,
I had the privilege of being at DeeperStill with you this weekend! It was the first time for me to hear Kay Arthur and Priscilla Shirer, and I loved hearing the perspective of 3 different women, from 3 different pasts, on 3 different journeys...all going deeper still. Thank you for your faithfulness to bring us the "Bread"! I am so with you: bread is one of my all time favorite things, and the Bread of Life is my heart's desire!
Much love,
Tara
Thanks so much for sharing. Cannot wait until the simulcast!!
Thank you Beth, Kay and Priscilla for a wonderful weekend in the Word. All of you challenged me.The Praise and Worship was so uplifting. Please come back to North Carolina soon!!!!
I had a wonderful time in Greensboro. I prayed for a Word and God met my desire over and over again. I prayed that God would use this weekend as a marker in my life and that I would never forget the work that He does during this time. I came away with a fresh hunger, frankly an out-of-control appetite for the Word. I want to know the Word and the character of the Father inside and out. I am trying to figure out how to have time for deeper study. I know God will help me work that out.
I heard so many things. Here are a few highlights for me:
Rest is the activity of faith. God's word + faith = peace. Ironically, I had written down Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6 earlier this summer and had recommitted them to memory. I love how the LORD gives a personal word to us as we hear a teaching to masses. It is such affirmation of His personal love for each of us.
I was reminded of God's sovereignty and how he despises sin. I want Him to search me and show me the things that displease Him.
I also heard the beyond, beyond message loud and clear. I have recently quit my career to be more available to serve the LORD and my family. I needed to be reminded that God is able to be Jehovah-Jireh BEYOND-BEYOND what I can ask or even think. I cannot wait to see what He has in store!
I also heard that God doesn't have power, He IS power! Wow! I love that!
I heard that God's ability is not for somebody else. It's for me, in my circumstances, RIGHT NOW!
I also heard of the beauty of God's Word and how He weaves it all together in perfection. I would have read over the verses about the Ephah thinking that they had no relevance before. Now I KNOW that God has a purpose for every word.
I want more and more fellowship with the Bread of His presence, the pure enjoyment of God's presence.
Thank you ALL for a wonderful weekend. God be praised for being present, powerful, personal and available to each of us! Let this weekend be a marker for all of us and that lives will be changed forever!
Love you all!

my own sweet friend Beth went to this conference this weekend and her heart was SO blessed! Thank you for blessing MY siesta this way...even though I'm SO jealous I couldn't be there with her (about to give BIRTH to baby #4 any day now!)
I had an awesome time, once again, this weekend. The topping for the weekend was when you told about Hannah. I did the bible study Esther the first of the year and while I was in the middle of it I went to DC with my son and visited the Holacoust museum. We were walking through there and I walked right into the Magella of Esther. I just stood there and cried and was telling everyone what it was and they thought I was crazy. I came home and then read the part about your dad. I just cried and couldn't wait to tell my son and my 12 year old daughter who had just studied the Holacoust and that was all she could talk about. She was amazed. When I heard that story this weekend I was like I have got to find that book and read it with my daughter. I just ordered it. How awesome God is. Thanks for another great weekend from all of you guys. I would love to have the commission that you read at the end.
Sherrie Watson
Great job again Rich!! It is so wonderful to get a look inside all these women worshipping together. I love seeing the more mature women ministering to the younger. It makes my heart leap!! One particular picture of an elderly lady kneeling to pray struck me profoundly.....we are never and I repeat never to old to get on our knees before our Maker......
Thank you one and all!!
Blessings,
Bible Bunny in NO MI
P.S. I'm freezing....send us some heat!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing God's glory with us! We may not be there in person, but we are surely there in Spirit! To see so many praising, praying and loving God is such a joy!
Thank you,
Sherrie, Spokane WA
Beth, Amanda or Melissa,
Beautiful video - thanks for sharing.
Second - are any of you fine/fun gals on Twitter? I would just love to hear your daily chatter. :) I love hearing you three interact. I'm raising a daughter and my prayer is that we have the type of relationship you three have so I really pay attention to how you three love each other - it's really a quiet testimony of Christ's love that blossoms in your family.
Third - Beth, you have so often mentioned your love for praise music and how it really helps you worship and get in the Jesus-zone (ok, those are my words!) I've always been curious what your favorite songs are. I really need a good praise playlist myself and would love some tips. Thanks for all you do - love the studies, the blog, the conferences, the books...everything. God Bless!
Greensboro was amazing.
I invited a friend to go with me that is struggling with so many things right now. She came away with a stronger faith and a different attitude.
Have to share this. When I got home I truly had a beyond, beyond, beyond monement.
The kitchen was clean, the bed was made the floors were vacumed and he had potatoes in the oven and steaks to grill. I fell in love again like I do so often.
Thank you Kay, Pricilla and Beth.
I've seen a lot of these videos as you post them..I don't know...this one made me cry.I just saw a lot of love. LOVE. Right there. Heaven coming down. So glad, though, that I don't have to go to a conference to have that same experience. Whew. Thanks for sharing.
Because of this weekend:
My eyes are fixed on Jesus.
I am believing Him for beyond, beyond.
I am looking at Him. (Confirmation for me!)
I am praying for Him to do *or something better*.
I am jumping up and down with thanksgiving to the Lord for meeting you.
I love you Mama Beth Moore
For me, you helped open the Bible study door
I had never studied like you taught me to
I love His Word now, it's not just on a list, to do
Thank you Lord for Mama Beth Moore
I am so excited Lord to receive Your more
In the Mighty, Powerful Name, Above All Names, Amen.
To quote a very good teacher I know(Beth), Lord your love knows no bounds! It never ceases to make my heart swell and tears flow when I see those gray haired women stepping over those generational lines and raise their hands and praise our Lord! As I type this my tears are flowing and my heart is so full. Thank you Father that you use all who will offer themselves up. I love you Lord! Carla Lee
Just makes me yearn for Oklahoma even more...Can't wait till December!!!!! Come LORD COME!!!!!!
Thank you all so much for a wonderful time with God! I had needed food so badly and I feasted. May God bless each of you in His great power!
Any chance of Deeper Still coming to New England? I have admired this event for a while from afar and hope that someday . . .

I attended Deeper Still in Greensboro as well, and I want to thank you so much for the experience. All 3 of you were such a blessing and helped me in my own personal life. I'm 21, a college student and I've been stuggling quite a bit this year. Who hasn't? I was sexually abused as well and had repressed the experience until last year and I haven't been dealing with it like I should. I've been blaming myself for so long and blaming my past as the reason I can't seem to have a succesful relationship with a man. I've realized that Jesus loves me, he has forgiven me, so I should forgive myself. In time and faith in Jesus I know that I can get past this and on with my life. Thanks again Beth I read your book Get Out of That Pit in June, and it was very helpful.
On a side note, my name is Amanda, and I weighed 7 lbs 3 oz like your Amanda, which is kind of funny.
Beth, WOW!! Wasn't God so good this weekend?! Truly, He's the one who did it again! I am not sure that I have ever needed a Word as badly as I did this weekend, and God did NOT disappoint! In fact, He overwhelmed my greatest expectations -- and I had big expectations (mostly because I was so desperate to hear his voice.)
Like you said at one point this weekend, I didn't care what He said to me, I just needed to hear something. And, the resounding truth I heard over and over was HOPE - don't lose hope! The fact that we have a God who speaks to us is enough to have HOPE!
I don't know what you had planned to speak about before you changed your plans. But, I do know that the message you gave was ordained by God for me to hear. When you said, "Someone needs to be told what's missing from your relationship with God--Fellowship," that someone was me! Lately, God has felt so distant from me. And, for the longest time, I couldn't figure out why. I was still doing bible study and begging God to speak to me. But, instead of truly entering fellowship with the Bread of the Presence, I was really just going through the motions. The enemy had so plagued me with unbelief that I had just given up on trusting God to speak to me in my current season. All three of the messages this weekend were God-ordained for me, as I know they were for all of the women there!
Beth, on behalf of Carolina girls everywhere, we LOVE YOU TOO!! Thank you for faithfully submitting to His call, for sacrificing all manner of things, including a lot of sleep, to minister to us.
I'm praying that you will get some rest this week!!
Thank you for your obedience to serve the Lord as He has called you to. You are such a delight to listen to, your faith and love for the Lord is such an encouragement. The Deeper Still conference was truly amazing. Love you Beth!
I enjoyed myself so much and learned so much from all of you! I simply cannot wait to attend a future conference!
I was there it was outstanding, Beth i so wanted to ask you how the puppet I sent you was doing ha,& ask if you got starbucks in Greensboro, I am Victoria Welch from Reidsville, just down the road from Greensboro,i didnt want to brother you to et pictures & all that(but would have lvoed that)i jsut wanted to say hi,from this weeknd i learnd sfoemthings that for sure I am going own the right track,I willbe 60 Aug 30th & I am not to old, Beth I am going & doing mroe then i ever thought then my pator even made it more for me to see that,my sis lives there so we had a great time together ,our mom not well at all so we so needed something like that,thanks & mom is doing better,wow what a weekend PTL i love him so Victoria Welch Reidsville nc
It sounds like an amazing weekend. What is the book about Hannah that was mentioned? I'd love to read it!
If I cry every time I watch these videos - what must the Lord's reaction be as He watches from the heavens?!
Stand firm, Beth, and let nothing move you because your labor in the Lord is NOT in vain.

So fun! Wish I could have been with you all! Know it was awesome!
Emmy : )
Beth,
You brought a hard word to hear - but a good one to be challenged with. I thank you that you hear His voice and carry on through. Never felt like I have been more commissioned and challenged in all my life. Praise Him for you and the entire panel of teachers and praise/worship leaders.
This was my first time attending any conference. I've waited five years to do this - I'm so glad because it was exactly what I needed!! So glad to have met you.
Your Cheraw, South Carolina Siesta Alisa Beets
TOTALLY AWESOME!!
Thank you Lord for giving me the WORD I needed so desperately.
Thank you Beth, Kay, Priscilla, Travis and the Worship Team, everyone from Lifeway, and any volunteers for an amazing weekend.
I love you all!

P.S. Looking forward to the Simulcast at the end of the month and LPL in Richmond, VA in August of 2010!
Beth,
The commissioning we all said at the end of the day on Saturday was beautiful. I would love to have a copy of it and wonder if you wouldn't mind posting it. THANKS FOR CONSIDERING!
Kim
Doswell, VA
It was a terrific weekend! Thank you for your commitment to the Word and speaking from His heart! You are loved in Carolina - come back now, ya hear?!
What an amazing weekend. I don't think I will ever get over it nor do I want to. Thank you Beth, Kay, and Priscilla for helping me to grow in Christ.
I attended Deeper Still in Greensboro with my two my BEST friends... 2 ladies I consider my sisters. We had the best time. We love each of you and the messages you brought. I'm praying for each ministry, and for all people who are going deeper still. Thank you for stopping in NC. :-)
In His love.. Megan, Greensboro, NC
I had such a fabulous time, Beth. My word ... Kay Arthur rocked my world with all the scripture! While she was speaking I looked at my Mother and said, "Do you realize every other sentence out of her mouth is the word of God?" Unbelievable! My friend and I tried it yesterday at church and would crack each other up and high five if we could come back to one another with another WORD - fun, fun!
I loved every last word of it and thank you so much for speaking TRUTH to us. I am better for having been there - thank you!
I was at Deeper Still G'boro, this past weekend. Wow! Thanks, Beth, Kay and Pricilla, for the encouragement as we run our race-- for helping us raise the bar of our expectations to "beyond beyond" ... to seek His face and enjoy His presence...to feast on the Bread of Life daily, clutching Him to our hearts like the story Beth told of Hannah and the other orphans sleeping with their pieces of bread clasped to their chests. Thank you! Thanks also for the inspiring "3 journeys" of imperfect women who have learned obedience, having allowed Him to exchange your ashes for beauty, thus are being used mightily by Him to reach others. And for your frank answers during the panel--thanks for the laughter!!!
This was my sixth women's event, I think, as I have been to at least 5 Living Proof Live events. God never fails to show up BIG, and give me a good word!!! Also, can't forget Travis and the worship team--LOVE THEM!-- and the newest addition, the worship artist, was fabulous. Please pray for me as I feel God leading me in that same direction--worship art. Beyond beyond blessings to you all!
As always, just beautiful.
I know some of those siestas! HI LORA....HI NESHA!!!
Melana
Please bring LPLive weekend to Carolinas soon, hopefully SC. We love you here. Dawn Leopard
PRAISE JESUS!
Love ya'all from Corpus Christi!
Thank you Rich for another amazing video and the picture with our siesta mama!
The weekend was incredible! All three ladies brought it! And Travis and the worship team carried me straight to the throne! I cried so much I think I got dehydrated!
Also, it was such fun hanging with siestas who made me feel like I had known them all of my life!
Finally Beth I wanted you to know that the message the Lord gave you was something that this pastor's wife desperately needed! I spent some quality time in His presence on the way home alone in my car just He and me! I need to have more dates with Jesus! I also wanted to thank you for the phone call and the chance to hug your neck! I feel so honored and blessed to know you!
Love ya like crazy!
Kristi B.
P.S. A special thank you to The Lifeway Team, Beth's assistant Michelle, and Amanda for all your hard work!
amazed and overwhelmed by the Lord from my time with Him at deeper still this past weekend. would LOVE to have the text of the commissioning.
*** This is a personal message for Beth. It does not have to be posted****
Beth, I was privileged to be able to see you at the meet and greet after Deeper Still in NC. I know you were pressed for time, but I really appreciated you coming in to see us Siestas!
I wispered to you "keep doing what you do" and you said you have to...
But I would have loved to have taken your precious face in my hands and prayed over you. You have blessed so many of us, insipired so many of us to love Him like you do...and my heart just wanted you to be blessed and to know that we care deeply for you. Not for what you do for us but for who you are and the sacrifices you have made in order to be His servant...
So from the bottom of my heart...please know...We love you. We pray for you. We speak blessings over your life. We want you to know His peace like never before. We want you to know that your time, sacrifice and service is worth it...because of your gifts and calling and obedience to Him, many of us know Him more deeply than we could have imagined before you came into our lives. Yes. It is worth it. To Know Him...God be Praise.
Blessings to you and your family!
First I have to say that the comment from anonymous is so true: We do love. We do pray for you. We do speak blessings over you and your ministry. She said that statement well.
I still have a lump in my throat from an amazing time of worship with the Lord and His Word that was spoken to me. The beyond beyond moments were seeing and meeting siestas and getting to hug your sweet neck with an immense Thank You!
Just watching the video brought tears to my eyes... i imagine how wonderful it must be to come together as Sisters in Christ, in worship - AND to get The Word delivered by Beth... what a blessing!!!
Encouraging you to continue take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of [us]... and keep pressing on. (Philippians 3:12-14)
You are such an encouragement and a blessing in other Sisters' lives, that are not able to come together, in this way... yet. :)
Love in Christ,
Amaris in Brazil
I'm with Siesta Mama Beth, Deeper Still, Greensboro blew my mind!!! I loved being there. The messages hit home, all of them, and the worship was genuine. The first song on the first night gave me that goosebumpy feeling:) The pics in the video are fun reminders of different moments at the event:) Always lovin' the rapping of Mrs. Priscilla and Spiritual Mom Beth-too funny:)! I do want to learn easy, laugh easy, and love easy! Faith, hope, and love abide, but the greatest of these is love!:)

Oops, missed Brittney in my shout out to the siesta's...
HI BRITTNEY!!!
Melana :)
I am so happy to have been a part of what God accomplished through the Deeper Still even in Greensboro. God used you and the other ladies to speak directly to my heart. It was a weekend to remember to sure! Especially when the Q&A got a little out of control - LOL!
April P
There are just no words to say what my weekend in Greensboro meant to me! The Lord was HUGE and he used you, Beth, and Priscilla and Kay to speak to me in a new way! Everything spoke straight to my heart but I cannot tell you how much the word you brought to us has opened my eyes to something I didn't even realize I was missing...or maybe I did but I just didn't realize I could have! Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit and coming with something you hadn't planned...it was for many I'm sure, but it was without a doubt for me! The Lord was amazing thru you ladies!! I'll never forget it!
I was very blessed to have been able to attend the "Deeper Still" event in Greensboro. I simply ADORE Beth Moore. Her studies have made a tremendous impact on my life. I worked the Life-way bookstore at the event in order to attend. All I wanted was to see Beth live. I'm having back surgery in a few weeks and knew better than to try this but, come on, it was Beth! By 3pm Saturday I couldn't feel my left leg and my back was killing me. I went in to sit down and our section was full. I could have gone down the stairs to sit but I couldn't have physically gotten back up them! The usher wouldn't allow me to add a folding chair to the back row, so, I missed Beth.
God later "told" me that my focus was on the wrong thing. I was focused on what I wanted and not Him. I received a huge blessing from Kay and Priscilla. The singing was amazing. I'll never forget this weekend and the impact it had on my life.
Beth, I do hope to see you someday, I would love to personally tell you thank you. Your life has enabled me to change things in my life. I'm going "Deeper Still"
With Grace and gratitude
Marlene
I finally got to attend a Deeper Still event!!! I was so caught up in the Worship and the teachings of Kay, Beth and Priscilla, that time just seemed to fly. Mama Siesta, you rock!!! My heart has been so full ever since the weekend that at times I feel I will just burst. I know that God is able to do whatever God decides to do, but Beyond, Beyond at times just seems beyond me. Thanks to all of you for doing what God has called you to do. Praise His Holy, BEYOND, BEYOND Name.
Betty
Sent you a long letter to thank you, but if you don't ever receive it... Thank You...for being a living breathing example of what it means to follow Jesus. It makes sense to me now!!! And it is for me!!!!
This was an amazing weekend!!! And, I must say I was taken with Priscilla Shirer. I will be doing some of her studies in the very near future. I nearly wet my capri pants when Kay Arthur put her earring into her bra!!! And, you, Siesta Mama, did not dissapoint!! I am so upset I didn't know about this little bloggy friends picture opportunity! I will see you in Richmond next year!
Beth, My name is tony(which makes me a 'miesta, with permission to blog by my siesta) and i have been a pastor for the past 23years. My wife has been attending your conferences for years. Just recently she and our daughter attended the Deeper Still conference in Greensboro (for our daughters 21st bday gift)I can't tell how excited they both returned. I now am the director of a very large inner city ministry to the homeless and working poor. We also work with approx. 15 men who are progressing through a redemptive recovery program and the Knox County Christian Men's Job Corp. Each Wednesday morning we have a worship service with our resident volunteers and the working poor families that have come to us for assistance. I had spoken to our daughter Katie and she was so pumped about one particular scripture in Ephesians 3 that she heard taught at the conference by Pricilla, something i believe along the lines of "Beyond, Beyond". she couldn't say enough about it and as she and my wife continued the Holy Spirit impressed me to speak on it to our folks. They surely have experienced beyond beyond as they have come to the ministry. Longer story short there were two ladies saved and shouting broke out in the house and my residents began using that text all day as they ministered to our poor. Can't say enough thanks for the impact for the conference had on our daughter and she had on me and not enough praise for impact God had on us today as He certainly took us beyond Beyond!! May God continue His amazing blessings on your ministry and the Deeper Still group as well.
It was an incredible weekend!! Could you please post Beth's final blessing/benediction?
I was at Deeper Still because of the loving care of sweet Beth. the last 18 months have been incredibly difficult. My husband left for my best friend down the street and my son married. Mitchell and I married in 75 so we've been together a long time but our God is a BIG God. My precious daughter-in-law attended with me. what a joy standing with her and seeing her hand raised in worship! and sweet Beth,I was in line Friday night to pray with Kay. I didn't see you or I would have been in your line. I was third in line when Paige came up to me and asked if she could pray with me. God was at work again!! Thank you, thank you thank you. You have shown me how fun and thrilling studying His word is. I love you my sweet siesta!!
