Bible Study Fail

I enjoy my weekly Bible Study/Growth Group/Home Group/Fellowship Group (It's only one group, but I'm being inclusive in my branding). The only thing I dislike about it, is because our leaders have kids we don't start the study until 8pm. Seeing as Bible College has turned me into an old man, that's just about my tune out and start to fall asleep time. The eyes glaze over, the ears tune out, the eyelids feel heavy. I'm not the kind to actually fall asleep, but my involvement is minimal.

I woke myself up last night by glancing at a verse on my page which said,
Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook? (Job 41:1)
And I thought it said, 'Can you pull in the leviathan with Facebook?'

Thankfully I didn't think out loud, and so I was the only one who noticed by sleep dazed stupidity. To be honest, I'm surprised I was even thinking at all. Maybe I should get over my aversion to drinking coffee, for the sake of alertness.

  2. My personal favourite (slash worst) bible study moment was when two members of an eight person study I was leading feel asleep at the same time.

    The best part was watching everyone pretend it wasn't happening.

    Classic.
