Dear POC,

It's Joanne. I know I haven't blogged recently and I have SO much to share, guys. God has stretched me and challenged me SO much this summer. (Feel free to ask me when you see me!)

It's still quite early to say this but as the summer draws to a close, I'm afraid so will our year together as a cell group. However, this is not the end of our time of fellowship together. Whatever you have learned this year, I hope you will carry it on to wherever you may be next year, whether it be to your new cell group in Didomi, to your post-secondary education destination or elsewhere. I'll miss you guys and I KNOW God will bless you in your seconds, minutes, days and years to come, whether you know it or not.

Anyways, before I get all emotional and long-winded, here's what I actually came here to say:

Proverbs 30:5-6

5 "Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6 Do not add to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

Wouldn't it be so cool there was an entire sermon in just bible verses? No added words or interpreted, just literal bible verses. (Just to clarify, this is not to say that rephrasing is wrong. They help explain bible verses and help us understand.) I've written a letter once in just bible verses which was interesting, but quite challenging in terms of finding the verses yourself. Plus, it gets a little messy with all the quotation marks and all that fancy citation. Just a thought.
