Bible College on a bean bag

Last night a young woman was interviewed in my church about the year she spent at Bible college, having taken leave from her job to do a Diploma in Sydney.
It was great. She talked about the encouragement of spending time with other Christians, the blessing of being able to take time to study God's word, and the privilege and responsibility that are ours in having the access we do to such excellent Bible teaching. She talked about the way that studying God's word changes how we do ministry because it changes who we are.
All this I have found to be true.
And I realised again what a really cool thing the Timothy Partnership is - it allows me to do almost exactly the same thing on a bean bag in front of the heater in my lounge room - a technique I learnt from my high school aged children. And the dinner table conversations are still with my family.
