You are so Right On – and your responses were instructive and affirming – I could have used that help the next day and not lost a week as I struggled to process why my Bible study felt like a slap in the face.

I am going to study your response so that I can be better equipped to hopefully be used by God to move alongside a great teacher – to affirm her strengths and strengthen her weaknesses. Please pray that I would have the right attitude and that God would build a bridge out of what is now a wall.

Thanks for the tools to return to the study – which by the way I have skipped for the past two weeks. No longer does it feel like I’ve been minimized as a human being, I feel energized. With your wise counsel, I see an opportunity for both the zealous teacher and myself to grow. Please pray that what is now a cold silence will become honest, healing dialogue.

Bless you, Pat -
