Instead of taking my usual nap on Sunday afternoon, I have instead (for the past two Sundays) spent those hours perusing cookbooks and making something to take to our church-wide dinner on Sunday evening. Every year beginning in January, our pastor does a six week (or something like that) Winter Bible study on a certain book of the Bible for our evening service. This year someone decided we would serve supper before-hand. Each Sunday is a different theme, hence the cookbook perusals. It has been interesting, but since I am on the hospitality committee (the people who serve the food and clean up afterwards), I have found myself tired and cranky these last two Sundays (and unable to enjoy the Bible study). However, it has been interesting, to say the least. A study of the creation account according to Genesis, pointing out the fallacies of evolution. Pastor goes very deep in his rendering of this subject. I feel like I'm in a college level science class! I am confused about his choice of Bible study this time, though. I mean, are there really that many Christians in the church who actually believe the theory of evolution? After discussing this with my dear hubby, however, he pointed out why he is actually enjoying this study. His perception is that we as Christians don't always know how to defend our faith when it comes to issues involving evolution. Therefore, this study will better equip us to do this. I guess it helps to consider someone else's point of view when I am tempted to ask why this is important! As for my Sunday afternoon naps.......I'm certain God will make a way!
