for the first time ever in the history of the bible study i've been leading for almost 5 years now, nobody showed up last night. in fairness two people did show up almost 30 minutes late, but kim and i had already left. i'm not really quite sure what to make of it. is this a sign that things are coming to an end for the group? obviously when out of 10-15 people nobody shows it's got to mean something. it may not be a priority for folks anymore and i think i'm alright with that. i'll admit too though that i was a little bummed as well. people are busy during the summer and i get that, but zero. wow. maybe it's time to put a slug in this old dog and move along to the next thing.
i'll have plenty of time to evaluate it though while kim and i are in traverse city for the next 9 days on vacation. her grandma has a cottage on a lake up there, so we stay for free. it's such a peaceful, out of the way place. it's gonna be wicked relaxing. good times....

Summers are weird for bible studies... my church pretty much calls it summer break and just accepts the fact that people don't show, family vacations etc. just seem to get in the way. Plus, a little break period is nice and I think allows people to commit better during the other 9 months. We actually mapped out the summer with fun stuff and occasional bible study knowing that on any particular night, half won't show. Last week was the "occasional bible study" night and the slated leader forgot. The 5 of us (out of 14-15) that were there just hung out. It happens to everyone.
