Body Part Bingo
by Rhonda Rhea
“Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart,”
- 1 Timothy 4:7-9, The Message
As I get older, I notice more and more my body parts in a sort of snowballing landslide. I know the medical and cosmetic powers-that-be can work wonders these days with surgeries, injections, peels and the like. Tape this part up, snip that part off. I guess it’s too bad I’m not desperate enough, brave enough or rich enough to go any of those directions. Eventually I suppose I’ll probably be looking for more necessary body repairs anyway.

FYI: Overseas Radio Interview...
I am so thrilled to tell you the great news! I have a radio interview set up for this Monday, January 19th. It's a live interview with Premier Christian Radio in London, England. They are the largest Christian radio station in the entire UK. Tea and crumpets, anyone? |

Feedback Corner:
I read your book, I’m Dreaming of Some White Chocolate. I LOVED the book and your style of writing. I don’t know how many times I laughed out loud! But I also like how you bring the readers back down to earth reminding us that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday.
Thanks for being a blessing in Christmas 2008!

Need an Icebreaker?
Try this one. Provide a sheet of paper (including your ministry logo or a graphic/announcement for your next event makes it that much more fruitful). Have the ladies number the page from 1 to 10. Then ask these questions and have them score accordingly:
- If you’ve ever left one of your children somewhere, give yourself a point.
- If you’ve ever lost your car in the Wal-Mart parking lot, give yourself another point.
- Give yourself one point if you’ve called one of your children the wrong name today.
- Give yourself two points if one of those names was the dog.
