Weekly Assignment: Plans

Assignment:
  1. Text - Dallas Willard, The Cost of Nondiscipleship
  2. Meeting at Seirps at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 4
I am sorry I am so late with this entry.  I've been thinking a bit this week about how I should best prepare for our times together.  I find lists helpful when I am making plans and being disciplined.  What I thought of was this:
  1. Read.  Slowly.  Let it sit with me.  Perhaps 2-3 times, especially if it is confusing.  Do this on Wednesday or Thursday.
  2. Study.  Go through the reflection questions.  Talk about them with someone or write down some thoughts about them.  Do this Thrusday or Friday.
  3. Practice.  Look at the practices for the section.  Pick one and do it.  Do it on the weekend.
  4. Prepare.  Get my things together for our time.  Pray for our small group and their needs.  Do this on Monday.
  5. Gather.  Bring whatever you've done to the group time.  Encourage each other in our lives and in our practices.  Anticipate God to make an appearance and dwell with us.
I think I will be using the same basic practices in our times together.  I am hoping to get some good conversation and discussion as well as time to do a little practice and prayer.

May your hearts be warmed by your times with Jesus even as the weather cools.
