"Out of the Salt Shaker & into the World"
by: Rebecca Manley Pippert

For the past couple of weeks, we have looked at several acronyms that are presented in Rebecca's book such as:

CPR  --  Cultivate, Plant, Reap -- page 138

ISR  --  Investigate, Stimulate, Relate  -- page 142    

GSUT --  General, Specific, Underlying, Theological  -- page 145

RBS  --Relationships, Beliefs, Source of Authority --  page 148

This week we have a "new one"  which is:
DOA

DOA is not found in Rebecca's book but it is found in The Book.  DOA is the result of time spent in mediating on concepts as presented in the book by Rebecca and linking them to Scripture.

For those of you that like to search the www, go to: http://www.acronymfinder.com/ -- type in DOA and you will get 41 results BUT none of them are the correct answer.

The person who submits the correct answer (in class & in writing – this returned sheet – filled out completely -- next Sunday June 12, 2005) will receive a Family Christian Stores Gift Card in the amount of $10.00. If more than one person submits the correct sheet, a drawing (in class) will determine the "winner". (Proverbs 16:33)

Here are some "clues" to the meaning:

D = Ecclesiastes Chapter 12, Psalm 103, Genesis Chapters 18, 3, 2
