Triciahh Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 My name is Tricia and it is wonderful to be able to participate in these studies and meet Christians from all over the world. I have learned so much, both from the lessons and the perspective and insights of others. For a little about me, I live in Southaven, Mississippi, USA. Southaven is on the Tennessee state line and is mostly a suburb of Memphis. I am divorced and have one child, a son, who lives with his wife about 3 hours south of me. They have temporary custody of the world's greatest dog, my granddog Lucy. I not having much success in my attempts to talk them into giving her to me but they do bring her to visit fairly often. I am an RN and worked the last several years in home health care. I loved all my work, but the time I enjoyed most was when I was a visiting nurse. When I became physically unable to make home visits or provide hands-on patient care I worked in the office at the home health agency. It broke my heart when I had to retire on disability but God is working in my life and I am still learning to cope. I have become thankful for the free time I have now to teach second grade Sunday school. This is the greatest joy of my life now. I have also been richly blessed with an overabundance of wonderful Christian friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live and work at the mission full time which is a true blessing. Pastor Ralph's bible studies have given me tremendous insight as to our daily experiences with the many people that come our way as well as dealing with one another as members of the body of Christ. The scriptures come alive with their application. I look forward to learning with you all in the lesson from Ephesians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studies have been a wonderful benefit to me and I'm very excited to be studying the book with some of my very favourite passages again. I'm a grandma too, play keyboard at small church functions and help in Children's Church. This excites me as we are growing the future here! Our children are amazing!

Yours in Christ, Pastor Ralph Hi, everyone, This is my first Joyful Heart study, but have taken seminary courses online before and really enjoyed meeting folks involved in studying the same things. I'm a full-time pastor's wife, full-time homeschooling mom, and part-time E.R. physician (six shifts a month) in Wyoming. Our 8 kids range in age from 33 to 8, and seven grandkids besides. Sometimes it's hard to find enough time to study the Bible - and these kinds of courses help me keep things prioritized! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Chan Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi Pastor Ralph, and lovely new friends, I'm really really looking forward to being here with you. My name is Hilary, and I'm a Chinese-Malaysian. Last year, I overheard someone casually mentioning that a friend have memorized the entire Ephesians word for word. That was when I realize Ephesians must be a very important book. I'm still pretty young, and need to seek lots of direction from Him. Can't wait to get started!

Eudora Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Greetings Pastor Ralph and the rest of the folks who are joining in this Book of Ephesians study. My name is Eudora and I live in Eastern Oregon. I have four grown children and five grandchildren. I absolutly love to study the word of God and am always on the look out for Him daily. I have been looking forward to this study beginning and ask a blessing upon Pastor Ralph as he takes us through this tour of the word of The Lord. I can't imagine how Paul endured all that he did as he wrote this letter to these folks from the prison cell there in Rome. He truly was a man of God and a full fledged believer in Christ Jesus. What is even more incredible and exciting to me, is that Jesus Christ, fully believed in Paul. I believe that this study will stregnthen my relationship with Christ Jesus and am looking forward to diving right in to His loving arms as He reveals Himself to us more and more through each word. Father God, I thank you for Pastor Ralph and all the folks who will be in this study. I pray that each and every one will draw closer to you and that as we all do, that You draw closer to us. We await Your return and in the mean time, we will love all those around us as You first loved us. Bless us Father with Your presence as we study across the miles. We lift You up and exalt You as our King and we love You. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
