Since 2002, the first thing on my calendar every year is CBS.

Since 2006, it has been with my CBS family in Finger Lakes Day Class.

This year we drive ONE HOUR each way to attend the CBS in Greenwood.

It is much smaller, but still has a homeschool program (Thank you, LORD Jesus). This morning as I was asked multiple times, “How much longer?” we talked about how around the world there were people who traveled in secret to other Believer’s homes to hear parts of the Bible. And there are people who huddle near radios listening to static ridden broadcasts of teaching in their own language. Those folks might marvel at how we travel in an air conditioned passenger van every week to have this type of study.

It’s still a long drive…. but it is perspective.

Today I had to run back out to the car for Katriel’s journal and got to the door just in time to hear her leader praying over the class. Her prayer moved me deeply. Community Bible Study leaders are a gift from GOD. I am so grateful for the ministry and all the leaders who have been in our lives.
