Hello, Noggies!
I'm thinking we better stick with Noggies even though we're moving to a new book. We don't want to be known as the Respectable Sinners, do we?? :)
As promised, here's a recap of our reading plan and schedule. Time to hit the books!
In keeping with our sacred Tuesday schedule, we’ll read our chapters each week by Tuesday. Questions for thought and discussion will be posted on the blog on Sunday or Monday by me and/or Tiff, and blogging on the current chapters will center around Tuesday and Wednesday before starting the next week’s reading and beginning the cycle again.
We think at least loosely sticking to this weekly schedule will keep us all on the same page and not get anyone too far ahead or behind. Of course this doesn’t mean that people can’t post any time they have thoughts or questions; we just want to stay together in the reading material and make sure we’re making intentional time for each specific topic. Aren’t you excited to get some life back into the Nog Blog again?! I am!!!
Here’s the schedule as laid out in the discussion guide:
- Session 1-Facing up to the Truth: Chapters 1, 2, 3 (read by September 23)
- Session 2-the Remedy for Sin: Chapters 4, 5, 6 (September 30)
- Session 3-Ungodliness & Unthankfulness: Chapters 7 & 10 (October 7)
- Session 4-Anxiety, Frustration & Discontentment: Chapters 8 & 9 (October 14)
- Session 5-Pride & Selfishness: Chapters 11 & 12 (October 21)
- Session 6-Impatience, Irritability & Anger: Chapters 14, 15, 16 (October 28)
- Session 7-Judgmentalism & Sins of the Tongue: Chapters 17 & 19 (November 4)
- Session 8-Lack of Self-Control, Envy & Jealousy: Chapters 13 & 18(November 11)
Don't forget to also give some thought to a possible Nog Overnighter or some other dates to get together in person! Let us all know of any ideas!
Happy Reading! Can't wait to once again be challenged, entertained and loved by your thoughts and questions!
Mental Hugs,
Beth

Would a "respectable sinner" be kind of like a pharisee? That line totally made me laugh... I'd agree I'd rather stick with being a Noggie.
Can't wait to dig in and hear the latest thought- and belly laugh-provoking things you all have to share!
So I say yes to any of the questions. Yes to get together and yes I'd be up for the cabin idea. I'm sure it will be a small miracle trying to get it scheduled but it would be worth it!
So, on that same idea. I can say that normally, administration is one of my gifts. My gifts however, seem to have been misplaced of late. So, my whole pottery idea hasn't gone too far as you've noticed. I did stop one day and they were closed. Bummer. I just really wanted to see what they had to offer versus call and try to understand my options. Anyway, I can continue to pursue and we could possibly use that as one of our mid-book get togethers or we can pass on it and just do a social thing. Can I get some feed back on that from you all?
And Tiff, so bummed to hear about illness running through your home. Prayers that it will end soon and that Tori will be a model baby for you.
