Gettin' messy in the Barley Room

We tackled the Barley Room on karaoke night. We were only about 30 minutes into full swing when the singing began. That was quite an experience. I think we get a very different perspective on the scriptures when we read and discuss them in a public place. Praying over the sounds of a bar is wonderful and distracting. Life!

Next week we'll be at Coaches on Central; roughly across from the 66 Diner near I25. 7:30pm as usual. Tracy will lead us through 2 Kings 23. Go God!!

Removing our barriers to God's providence

This quote is taken from Patrin 5.2 of the Psalters. It speaks volumes about the things we choose and choose not to face with Christ. Thanks to the Psalters for being open and real about their faith. May we all face the challenge to live closer to God this next year.

"The road has felt closer to home in that there is none. No roofs and fences to put my evils under or behind; less physical spaces and places to ease my weary head of its fears. I am held out more in the open where my First Love is all to turn to. I have had to rely on Him in situations I preferred not to. As a result He is present to my senses more. It has been fascinating to see how He provides for what I had so often provided for myself." - captain napkinz from the Psalters

The Welcome Mat Is Out

As per our discussion Tuesday night, the door is open to new participants who may not be interested in leading groups themselves. As you invite folks, please suggest that they bring a Bible. Where no Bible is available, I certainly have many here to loan out. I hope you all are as excited for the possibilities here as I am!!

We will continue to study in 2 Kings, looking at the parallels to the stories we have studied from 2 Chronicles.

With the next meeting coming on Thanksgiving week, there may be conflicts for folks we want to invite. Don't let that slow you down. They can always come the next week! If you get a firm yes from someone, please let me know so I'll have enough to drink on hand.

2 Kings it is, Todd

We had talked about looking at Hezekiah's story in 2 Kings 20, I believe. Isaiah 39 also speaks to the same part of the story - Hezekiah's test after God showed him a sign. I was looking at the Isaiah piece today.

We'll meet at my house at 7:30pm on Tuesday. Does anyone know of any new folks coming this week?
