Susie's Blog for first week of FEBRUARY!

YAHOO! It's February. And it's also time for me to announce the winner of last week's blog prize: Joanna Rutter from New Jersey--you've won the One-Minute Bible for Students! (Joanna, you need to email me and give me your regular mailing address so I can send you the prize!)

This week's blog prize is: Secret Power to Treasures, Purity and a Good Complexion: A Personal Bible Study on the Book of Colossians by Susie Shellenberger. (I heard it's a good book . . . but I haven't read it yet. Just kidding.)



Anyhoo, whoever wins this book will actually get TWO because we want you to be able to do this fun Bible study with a friend.

How can you win? You get one entry each time you jump onto the blog and ask a question about guys. Not a specific guy . . . but guys in general. We'll then take these questions and actually ask guys to answer them and put the results in SUSIE mag.

Here's an example:

--How come guys say they'll call you, but they don't?

So your question should only be one line! And each time you enter a separate question about guys, you get another entry for the blog prize!

If you get a friend to come onto the blog site who hasn't been on yet, you get three entries. (But you have to email me and tell me who the friend is and provide her email.) And how are you gonna email me if you don't know my email? Ask no further: susieshell@comcast.net

(See, now there's no excuse.)

And if you come babysit my dog, Obie while I'm in Mexico this week, you'll get five entries. OK, I'm kidding.

But toss us every question you have about the opposite sex, and we'll go find the guys who are brave enough to give you their answers!

And who knows? YOU may be the winner of two Bible study books! We'll announce the winner next Toooosday instead of next Monday, because I'm in Mexico from Wednesday thru next Monday. Comprende me el-schedulo?

OK. I'll stick with English.

Remember, the first issue of SUSIE mag comes out in May. If you're wanting to subscribe, we need to get your subscription in el pronto. (Oh, yeah. I said I wasn't going to attempt Spanish, didn't I?) OK, we need it el-quicko. (See, I just can't help myself.) You gotta get it in NOW.

Here's how:

Send a check for $23 to:

Susie Shellenberger Ministries
3741 Bloomington Street #4
Colorado Springs, CO 80922

And please pray for me while I'm in Mexico!

I love you, Girls! Keep looking to Christ.

Susie

  15. Ok, sorry, the above was me, but I wanted to try again cuz I was logged in with the wrong username.



    What do guys define as "flirting"?

    Do guys mind hanging out with girls that are "girly"?

    How might a guy ask a girl out without actually saying "will you go out with me"? What's the code? (Sorry, wasn't sure how to combine that into one sentence.)

    How do guys define a "serious relationship"?

    What is the most annoying thing girls do?

    Where is the line between a girl being friendly and being forward?

    And really, what IS the attraction in video games?

    Should I ask a guy if I can eat lunch with him at school?

    I'm 15. Do you see it as a bad thing that I have never been kissed/kissed a guy? (some Christian guys I know think that I'm weird cause of this)

    If I want to be a good friend to you, what should I say to you and how should I act around you?
