Today I got to go to my Mom's Connection group at church. It is one my favorite things I do outside of family stuff. We just started meeting again after summer break. I don't get to go every week because I work every other Wednesday, but I still look forward to it. Essentially, we do a book study and then get off topic and talk about everything. We just started a new book: "Bad Girls of the Bible (and What We Can Learn From Them)." So far I am enjoying the book. The author has chosen 10 women from the bible (each one a chapter). She begins each chapter with a fiction, modern-day interpretation of the story and then discusses it in depth biblically afterward. So far we have read about Eve (of Adam and Eve) and Potiphar's Wife (think Joseph and his Technicolor Coat). Next week they are reading about Lot's wife (I'll miss this one), and the next one I'll attend will be about the Woman at the Well (I haven't read this chapter yet).
My favorite part of the book, which is what makes it so readable, I think, is the fiction intro. I have also found some of the author's discussion to bring up some interesting points that I wouldn't have known or thought of otherwise. I think I would read this book even if I wasn't in a book study, so I thought I'd recommend it.
On a completely different note, I wanted to celebrate that today I am 20 weeks pregnant!! I have officially half way through my pregnancy!!! Yay!
