Great to get to see everyone at the Bible Study again last Thursday. They were studying the book of Hebrews so Kirsty and I were ever so slightly lost *baffled look*. We ended up trying to answer the question, 'How can God take the 3 forms, Trinity, the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit' and some really cool metaphors came up. Like how H2O can be in 3 forms, ice, water and steam, and how a clover has 3 leaves and is incomplete without each part. But then the ar...

Luckily there was a group cancellation like 4 days before, so we...
