Writers block...isn't that what you call it when you just can't think of anything to write? Well I have had bloggers block. I sit down to do a post and become blank. I do have alot to say though. I am a bit overwhelmed right now with all that I'm involved in. I am doing several bible studies during the week. On Tuesdays we are doing a Precept (Kay Arthur) study of Philippians. It is alot of work, its good stuff, but alot of work. Its amazing how studying about joy can bring to life your absence of joy. Quick story. Our study is on Tuesday night so I prepare dinner for my family early so they will be all taken care of for the night. So on the 2nd night of our study I made a big chicken pot pie. I put it in to cook and then I left for the bible study. Dave was supposed to take it out feed the kids and all would be well when I returned home. I got home from a great study on joy, (you know the study of how no one else can make you lose your joy, yea that study). When I got to the kitchen it was spotless. I could not even find the dinner leftovers. I immediately assume that Dave let the dinner burn and had to throw it away....joy starting to disappear. Then I go to the living room where Dave and Jesse are involved in this great theological discussion and demand to know where the dinner went. Abby had heated the water for hot chocolate and accidentally left the eye on so when Dave took the casserole dish out of the oven and sat it on the stove to cool, it got so hot sitting on the stove that the glass dish exploded sending glass, chicken, crust, and vegetables all over the kitchen. It was an accident.....but I totally lost my joy on everybody in the house. The next day I had to apologize to my little family and call Jesse to ask for forgiveness. So you see I really need the Philippians study:)
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27

Hi Lisa! Hope you and your family are doing well! Hope your bloggers block goes away soon :)
Thanks for sharing your story...I've done almost the same thing! I find it humerous when what I'm studying in the Bible often lines right up for perfect application with the events that have happened or are about to happen in my life!
I have bloggers block all the time! Those Precept studies are very intense but very good, and I am so glad to hear how relevant it is in your life already :)
Oh Lisa I can totally understand about "bloggers block" I think we all go through that from time to time :)
I have done a precept study before and it is in depth, but I really enjoyed it. Wish I could be attending this study...maybe I can attend the next study. Thanks for sharing your story...I know I can indentify with that.

Hello Saint Lisa. That story of the pot pie is one of my favorites :) I think that is so funny, but it was obvious that satan was trying to rob you of your joy! I am glad you got over it quickly. I'm enjoying doing the study with you! But missing working out with you :(
Love you-
Christy
I also suffer 'boggers block' frequently!!! Actually I've been sitting here reading blogs thinking... "what in the world could I blog about!?"
Thanks for sharing your story too!
