Getting started

I am trying something new here and y''all will be my test subjects. Hopefully, we will all learn together. I have started studying the Book of Jeremiah and want/need to share what I am learning. I had taken Degree completion classes from Life Pacific online and one of the components to the classes was a weekly question and answer session. It's easy to do as long as everyone takes the time to participate.

On Sunday I will post some reading and a couple of questions to think about
By Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest, each person will do an initial answer to the posted questions
By Thursday you will pick two or more of your fellow learners answers and make a reply to what they have said.
By Sunday, you will then reply to the comments posted on your initial musings.
The earlier you are able to reply, the more give and take we will have for the week.
In order to make this work, your comments need to be thoughtful, give credit where credit is due (especially if you are quoting someone or a text) Be kind to one another. Do not attack someone for their opinion, no matter how ridiculous it may appear to you. Instead take the time to prove your point using Scripture, personal testimony, etc. Make sure you read over your answers before posting and please no one word answers. If you agree or do not agree, tell us why giving reasons.

We will start the blog on June 14, 2009. This gives me two weeks to contact people to let them know what we are doing here and to get them signed up. I am planning on doing this for 10 weeks, which will take us through the end of August. I understand that many people will be on vacation during the summer...to that end you will not be expected to be blogging every week. You can come and go as necessary, but the more you participate the more we all will learn.
