A Suggested Weekly Preparation Plan
This plan suggests a little time invested each day
for a total of 2 to 3 hours in a week. An additional serendipity is the
cumulative impact of letting the Holy Spirit work in your mind throughout the
week, often making you more sensitive to illustrations and resources that emerge
all week long.
