I love this place...

WOW! $115,000 and still counting!?! What a contribution toward community care! I must admit, I didn't even think we'd come close to the requested $75,000....but we sure did. And I'm SO proud of our elders. Just think of the amount of time and effort! Just think of the courage! Even being the elder's kid I am (and thoroughly "ground in the faith"), I am learning some interesting facts from the Sunday night classes. I never thought about the fact that the Lord's Supper was probably instituted on a Thursday. And suddenly one understands where the Catholic church probably got the "mass everyday" idea (from the early Christians meeting daily). But I must admit, my favorite time for possible communion with anyone would have to be at approximately 2:30 AM Monday morning (esp. if someone just fell out of a window after listening to Bruce for a little too long).

Anyway, it was a great Sunday and I am, quite frankly, just proud of everyone around here. Proud to be a part of a people not scared to ask questions, not scared to study, and not scared to learn. And, by the way, I guarantee that God is not the least bit threatened at our questions either. I'm quite sure He can handle it (and proud we have actively engaged brain cells and not in a hibernation mode... :)).

And guess what! Easter's coming! A time for renewal for ALL His creation !!!!
