Weekend and hope

Had a good weekend. Visited the Ezells place in Wilmore, KY. It is truly God's country. Everything from the restaurant we ate at "Solomon's porch" to the cross atop the water tower, this place oozed religion. Plus it is located in the middle of some of the most beautiful scenary you will find anywhere. Anyway, it was good to spend the day with them, and we look forward to getting to do it again soon!

I am looking foward to hearing Rob Bell when he comes to Louisville on the 29th. "The gods aren't angry" is the title of the lectures. Should be interesting -as I have been listening to his sermons every week for the past 6 months.

Discussion in last night's small group:

-As we walk deeper in our relationship with Christ, what are our hopes for our lives? Have they changed? Should they change?

Bible has a lot to say about the hope we have in Christ. So, what are your hopes? Sure we have some for the after-life, but what about today, tomorrow or 5 years from now? Any relationships that could use some changing? Anything regarding money and your stuff? What about family/friends/job/time? Hopes - what really separates us from the rest of the world. The hope(s) that are made available in Christ. It is really pretty exciting to think about.
