Description
I started writing journals years ago to document life. I journaled about where we traveled, what we ate, what my kids were doing or saying – you know life things. Then I journaled about other things too, like Bible studies that I participated in or led. These podcasts came out of those journals. I led a small group for about a year and we studied the women in the Bible. Who they were, what they did and how it might apply to our lives. What resulted was a Bible study that I was leading several times a week to different groups of ladies. Several of the ladies asked me if I could record the lessons. So here they are. Thank you for listening!
