Something…
Last night, I had the distinct pleasure of cooking dinner for our Tuesday evening small group (something). I made a pretty easy meal…penne pasta with the choice of a traditional meat & tomato sauce or a chicken in a white wine cream sauce with spinach, tomato, and garlic; we also had caesar salad, a tasty cheese ball, and chocolate chip/peanut butter cookies.
We sat around our living room eating and enjoying our fellowship together. Basically, that means we were filling our stomachs with some decent food and filling our hearts with great conversation.
As we finished consuming mass quantities of food, we grabbed our Bibles and worked through Romans 10. We had a nice discussion about this wonderful passage of grace, salvation, love, and hope.
Now, as I sit here, enjoying a tasty glass of Charles Shaw (yep, three buck chuck) Chardonnay, I’m realizing that there was something that just felt right & natural about the whole evening. Sitting around, eating together with friends, and talking about our lives with God…it just seemed like what we should be doing.
A Word from Abraham Joshua Heschel:
“The human mind is one-sided. It can never grasp all of reality at once. When we look at things we see either the features which they have in common or the features that distinguish each of them.”
