Both of our Bible studies resume this week, with Common Grounds on Wednesday night at 6:30, and The Perk on Thursday morning at 9:30. I really missed getting together with all of you last week, so am looking forward to seeing your smiling faces this week. (And we even allow frowny faces to show up if need be!) This week we'll be delving into what happened when the Great Physician made a house call in Luke 4:38-44. Remember, we have child care available at The Perk, thanks to Eileen and Nola.
If you have some time on your hands this coming Saturday, there's a bazaar possibility Keisha asked me to tell you about. It's happening in Banks from 10-7, and Keisha will be one of the vendors. She'll be offering baby hats, booties, bibs, some larger sized hats, and maybe even some purses. These are all things she's made herself, so you know they've got to be good. And when she says baby, she's meaning from ages 0 to 2 years. Even if you aren't in the market for those items, she'd still love to have you stop by and say hi!
We all tend to put on a few pounds over the holidays, but here's an opportunity for you to do it in style with a bunch of your friends. Yes, I'm referring to the Peppermint Pound Party at Amy Rusaw's on Saturday, December 15th at 6 PM. Show up looking like peppermint by wearing red and/or white. Bring along an appetizer and/or dessert in a similar color scheme. We'll do a fun White Elephant gift exchange, so bring a wrapped gift of a pound of something. Be creative to add to the festivities. This event is for women only, so let your husband stay home and enjoy the kids. Or, this would be a good opportunity for him to take them shopping for YOUR Christmas present!
(Our cookie exchanges will be at Common Grounds, Dec. 19th, and The Perk on the 20th.)
In closing out today's WOW-Zine, I'd like to share some links with you from Ann Voskamp's Holy Experience blog that she wrote on Friday. I have my own super-easy fudge recipe, so I haven't checked this one out. But I did take a look at the recipes for making your house smell yummy, and got some good ideas. Enjoy taking a look at these options:

“Celebrate God all day, every day.
I mean, revel in Him!
Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them.
Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!”
~Phil. 4:7 MSG
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth. Give Thanks. Become the gift.
