Real church

What a joy it is to leave a meeting about church matters (like insurance, defibrillators, and personnel issues) and race downtown to The Gathering, where the response to the open question of "How have you seen God working this week?" is a chorus of smiles and raised hands eager to share! Thanks, friends, I needed that encouragement from the time spent with you! To share tears with Pam, and jokes with Carl, and songs with Don and Sanna, and birthday cake with Grace, and Bible knowledge with Dixianna and Don, and smiles with Kristin and Dana, and life lessons with Brian, and wild rambling stories with Rick, and food and love with all - now that's real church! Hallelujah!
