For the next 17 weeks we’ll be continuing this informed discussion combining the New Testament teachings of Peter with insights from other popular authors and of course our own insights as we go. Hopefully this will be an encouraging look at why we can dare to hope no matter what our situation. Feel free to join in the discussion on Sunday mornings during Good Shepherd’s Sunday Bible Fellowship hour or online here on our (hopefully) weekly posts. It would be great to get an online discussion going first before we discuss the posted topic on Sunday.

Note: If you have never posted on this blog before, I will have to review and approve your post before it will show up in the discussion thread. Then after I have approved you once, your posts after that will show up immediately.

You may be wondering what happened to the weekly minicasts. I still plan to do minicasts, but they won’t be week-to-week anymore. I want them to stay interesting but the main reason for spacing them out is just me being lazy. Sorry – I have 3 kids, a job, a new dog, and it may get even worse if we end up getting Dish Network. But I promise that the occasional minicast will be insightful and chock full of information about what we’re discussing in the group and where it’s taking us.

Of course, the best thing would be for you to swing by Good Shepherd Church on a Sunday morning at 9:30 and join in the discussion. We’re a friendly bunch. The coffee keeps things from lagging too (at least for me – ha). We still have about half a pot left over after class, so there’s still plenty if you like your morning java.
