To Drink or Not to Drink?

Here's some discussion about drinking and the Christian life from a university professor's blog that I follow. First a letter from a conflicted Christian, then the blogger's response. Both are worth reading. Great question; great response.

Prayer!

I am taking what is a bold step for me this school year and attempting to initiate a faculty prayer group before school on Tuesdays. I'm sending a school wide email after school today inviting anyone in the building. I really have no idea who - if anyone - will come. Our first meeting will be next Tuesday. I'd appreciate your prayers!

Friday 8/19 Lifegroup

Next Friday 8/19 Life group at the Zeigler's. Mexican theme dinner at 6:30. 7:00 book review/discussion chapter 1 of Messy Spirituality.

Friday Night

How about we all get individual sitters and go somewhere to dinner? Blind Tiger? I'd be interested if one of you locals had a small town unique place to dine that we could do a little road trip to.

Any other ideas?

Dropped the ball...

So I dropped the ball on going to the baseball game this Friday, and as I'm back at school, I don't really have the time to coordinate it. Does anyone have any other ideas for ways to spend our Friday evening?

Book Study - Don't be Afraid!!!

We've selected a book to study with reading assignments.....what's going on here?????? I know there is some anxiety out there with this change. Don't be afraid. We are all diverse individuals, each with different preferences. Some will get more out of this book study than others. Sometimes some of us won't have time to complete the reading. Don't worry. I've scanned the book and feel confident that even if you can't read it for discussion there will be much you can contribute and learn. Excited to try this "new thing" in our group.
