This is the time when moms and kids are heading for the 'school supplies' isle, stocking up on the things needed to prepare for school starting. As I watched them standing in line at the check-out counter with everything from backpacks to blue folders, my mind began to think 'outside the backpack' to the 'school supplies' needed as we prepare to learn more about Jesus!

I do hope that all of you are planning to go back to school in the Fall by enrolling in a bible study, either at your church or a church in your area. It might even be a home study with a group of friends, or a neighborhood group. Just do it!! We all need to reconnect after the disconnect of summer.

Here are a few 'school supplies' you will need and suggestions for how to use them:

Scripture To Remember
Make every effort to come to me soon...
- 2 Timothy 4:9

Question To Consider
Which school suppies will you take with you?

Prayer
Lord, I need you desperately in my busy life. I need to spend time with you and reconnect after a busy summer. Thank you for your patience and unconditional love for me. Lead me to just the right bible study! Amen

Thought for the Day
Today I will focus on God's faithfulness in my life.
