busy, busy, busy!
My daughter and some friends form her college stopped by on their way from a conference in Illinois back to Kansas. We (my wife, son and I) were cleaning and then cooking to get them some homecooked food. I hope they enjoyed it. We had a great time and there's alll sorts of food left over. Mmmmm. Leftovers. Especially when the food is so good!
I stopped by at the church this morning to meet with our small group. There were only a few of us today. Taxes and trade meetings took two people away. One other is moving and another is, well, we don't know. The dicussion was good. It was kind of ad libbed. We talked about how to talk with someone about our faith - especially someone who's heard the story of Christianity and then wonders what it's about and why is it a such a big deal. There's a whole bunch of stuff to say about what we talked about. I suppose you can summarize it by saying that "faith" is exactly that. We have faith, as believers in what Christ has done and who He is. It's faith! We have faith in our leaders that they will be the type of people who we elected. We have faith that the police will be followers and enforcers of the law and not vigilanties. We have faith that the phyical laws are "real" and continue to keep in the air a peice of equipment that weighs several tons and for all sorts of practical reasons should fall out of the sky - but doesn't - for reasons we have faith in.
We're reading a book (and hopefully a few more) that may help in understanding a few issues common to "faith" as it relates to the Lutheran perspective. It's late and the subject too depp fro a good discussion in this blog.
My day is full. My nights are too short. And, my blog for the week is completed for now. Any thoughts that go beyond these will have to wait for another day.
g'night.
