Waiting on a Friend
Right now, I’m sitting in one of my favorite places (the Heorot) waiting on a friend. As I’m sitting here, I’m reminded of Rusty’s sermon from Sunday. He took a little sidebar to talk about how the “good news” is for “all people.” He talked about how too often we like to limit who the message is available to.
As I find myself being annoyed by other patrons loud conversations, I’m reminded that the good news is for them too. I’m realizing that these loud and annoying people are also created in God’s image.
The upside is that I’m enjoying a nice pint of Guinness while working on my Christmas Eve message. A pint of Guinness makes any loud, annoying people that God also loves tolerable.
