Dear Jennifer,
I am currently leading your Me, Myself, and Lies study. The ladies and I are enjoying your study. I have a question about Week 4, Day 2. Is the statement “Every thought we think is not necessarily our own,” saying that Satan is able to read our thoughts or put thoughts into our minds? If so, how is this accomplished? Also, what scripture would back this up? We had been talking about this subject some weeks ago and I know they will ask about this.
Thanks, Barb
Jennifer,
I need some advice on how to maintain a boundary when I’m not at work. I work at the church that I attend! I truly feel that I have not been to worship anymore. People ask me to do things that should be done during my workweek. I have been pulled out of my class while I was teaching to work! I love helping people, but I need a better way to help people understand I’m not at work . If I don’t do it, they will go to the Student Minister who can’t say no either.

Jennifer’s Answer:
After turning forty, I made a list of life goals.
I probably should have made the list when I turned thirty because my list is a little longer than my life expectancy! One of the things on my list is to read everything C.S. Lewis wrote. Of course, I started with Mere Christianity and then went on to read Surprised by Joy. But, then, I happened upon a quite unexpected treasure, a novel he wrote in 1943. It’s a delightful fantasy, full of wisdom and savor. His storytelling was splendid with a graceful, fluid narrative.
Want to know what it is?
