The Pits!

Get a load of these LG beauties! ; ) - - Double click pic to enlarge

What 'fun' we had at our last meeting huh? ; ) Cancelled guest speaker...technical difficulties with back up video...crazed kids! My guess is satan is not too fond of us diggin' into this 'Get Out of That Pit' study - what think?! Hey, aint no thang! It's all good and WE WILL PREVAIL! ; ) Also, special shout out to our new guests: Toni, Mindi and the Deb's x 2! Welcome ladies - hope we didn't scare you off!

Speaking of scary ; ) I have a little 'pre-meeting' assignment for those of you who already have your books. For those of you who don't, check out Amazon.com for CHEAP, USED 'Get Out of That Pit' books - shipped straight to your front door (maybe even by Friday)! If you absolutely cannot afford one...no excuses, let me know and we will take care of it!

So pull out your books, READ CHAPTER 1 and grab your journal and jot down these personal application questions (and your own answers of course), to share at our NEXT Meeting THIS Friday, Feb. 11th at 7pm at Parkway!

1) From what you've learned in this chapter, would you say you're now - or have been - in a pit? Describe how that feels - or felt at the time.

2) Have you ever been - or are you now - a "mobile pit dweller"? If so, what was/is the nature of your mobile pit, and where did/do you take it?

3) "The closet confinement of a pit exhausts us with the endless echo of self-absorption." Do you resonate with this statement? If so, why?

4) "Some of us recognize our pits, not only by the degree of our badness, but by the degree of our boredom." Reflect on the "degree of boredom" in your own life and whether or not it's an indication that you may be in a pit.

5) What hope do the words of Psalm 40 offer to you personally in terms of the pit you may be in?

Psalm 40:1-3 says..."I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord."
