Monday, June 20, 2011 WOW-Zine

Sorry I'm so late with this today, but I've been in Grandma Heaven all day and nearly forgot to come down to earth! We picked up our three Ashcraft grand kids on Sunday evening and  have the joy of their presence at Ashberry Lane for the week. It's always fun to spend time with them, as well as get all the cousins together. We've got trips planned to the zoo, a picnic by a creek, a jaunt to the cousins' house, and hopefully roasting marshmellows in the back yard. Good times ... yeah, good times!

WOW has had good times at both sessions of lesson one of Loving Well these past two weeks. This Thursday (the 23rd)  morning at 10 or next Wednesday (the 29th) evening at 6:30 session two will be offered. We'll be looking at the four things about love that will help us with the challenge to love others. As you know, that's not always an easy thing to do! Don't you want all the help and insight you can get? Even if you don't have the book, we'd love for you to join us as we discuss questions such as:
~What difference does it make for your love for others to be motivated by God's love for you?
~How do you feel when you consider the constant nature of God's love?
~Why is our love so much less constant than God's?

Coming up on Friday, July 1st, is the Hot Tub Party at Ashberry Lane. I know it's the beginning of a holiday weekend, but not everyone leaves town. So if you're one of the "homies" come to my place from 7-9 PM for a chance to hang out with your gal pals. Bring a snack to share, a towel, swimsuit, stretch marks, and cellulite. We welcome them all. (The only thing not allowed is perfection!)

October may seem off in the distance, but it's not too early to plan a weekend to remember by attending the Women of Faith Conference October 7th and 8th. The program begins Friday at 10 AM and is through by 5 PM Saturday. Cost is $99, but if we buy tickets for ten people or more the cost goes down to $89. Anyone interested in attending with me? We can get rooms at a nearby motel and make the experience even more fun. I'll keep sharing little tidbits of info from time to time to whet your appetite, but I can tell you, you really want to make this happen! Let me know if you're interested.

I'd love to visit more, but midnight will soon be here. Nothing like squeaking this blog in under my own self-imposed wire! I look forward to seeing a bunch of you for session two on Thursday morning, a Scoggins Creek mocha in hand.
