Bible Study
I was reading today about King Solomon making an agreement with King Hiram of Tyre for logs to use for the building of the Temple. Israel had an abundance of food and King Hiram had an abundance of wood, known as cedars of Lebanon, so they made a trading agreement that…
We just finished up our second online Bible study this week. Thanks to the ladies who were able to participate in the study over the Being Transparent book. It was a wonderful growing time and experience with you and it’s hard to believe seven weeks went by that quickly. Most of…
