Proverbs 31 Ministries

    The Proverbs 31 Ministries is a non-profit Christian ministry that leads women to Christ.  They use the verses Proverbs 31:10-31 as a guide.  Proverbs 31 reaches to women in the middle of their day with free devotions daily, a radio program, speaking events, conferences, monthly magazines, resources, online communities, and Gather and Grow groups.

The entire Bible is God’s infallible revelation to man
Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone
The resurrection of His body
The one true church, the body of Christ
Obedience to God’s command to lead people of all nations to faith in Christ an to grow in Christ-likeness
Christ’s personel return to establish His Kingdom on earth
The Holy Spirit indwells and empowers believers and is given as a seal and a pledge of our inheritance in Christ Jesus

Make a Hamster Labyrinth

 If you (or a friend) have a mouse, gerbil, hamster, or a rat, you can make a pets labyrinth.
     Attach rectangles of cardboard to make walls inside a carton.  Figure out a secret passageway - and create plenty of dead ends!  Make a path the ends with a Greek hamster treat.  How about a grape?  Or, start you pet  on a simple labyrinth, and gradually, over several days, make it more difficult.  Does your pet still find the reward?

     Don't feel like training a pet?  Draw a complicated labyrinth on paper or with the drawing tool on a computer to trade with a friend.  Mark the places to start and to end.  Then, see if your friend can solve the maze.


Thanks,
Bethany
