Why I love Bible Study Groups

I enjoy my Bible Study groups for e wide ranging scriptural lessons and the christian fellowship..but also because they help mi take things in perspective n take life with a pinch of salt..

u noe,i've 2 bible study groups..1 from church n 1 from the campus christian group FOCUS..different pple with different experiences form them n they teach mi so much of life n God..

my church 1 is more topical n deals with issues like temptation n faith..while e FOCUS 1 is more text-based..like we're doing Titus now..so its e best of both worlds for mi, so to speak...

n e frens i've made realli realli touch mi n never fail to teach mi stuff in my course of life..like Jenu who's been tellin us bout his struggle to gain Australian PR-ship inspite of havin a good degree..his sheer grit n determination inspires mi 2 see e value of hard work..incidentally both a traditional Asian n a Christian ethic..

guys like Junior whom i've mentioned b4, hav taught mi bout living..even thru his painful experience of havin a relative pass away while he's overseas..n Jeanette's birthday 2nite just moves mi to believe n understand dat mayb e Almighty does hav somethin good for each of us after all.. how so? seein a 75 year old lady celebrate 75 years of life with her loving husband in a 'state of grace' as Frank MacCourt states in 'Tis is a reminder dat there realli is somethin good to fight for in dis life dat truli means something..more den money n status n power..

n on e heels of dis comes Jena's b'dae tml..a 20 year old slip' o lass from Botswana..teaches mi bout hope n hunger..something some o' my (so-called) frens back home will never noe cos they never had a single God-damn mudder-f***in day o' bluid-y hardship in their f***ed up lives..arse-ho**s..but i over-step miself..


Bible study groups teach mi so much more den e Bible..their membrs help mi take mi life in perspectiv n not overate mi capabilities n under-rate dat of the divine..oh n, forget e dickheads in life..try not 2 be one urself..
