"Dragon of loneliness"

It is late, late, late on Sat. night. 11:00 late. Fred, Alma and family came over after dinner. We had B'bque pork ribs, rice, spinach and prickly pear candy. The prickly pear candy didnt turn out and was more like a jam....that should have been spread on toast....so much for trying new stuff.
Church was about "Slaying your Dragons" The dragon of loneliness. The first part was an overlook at the Ameican Experience. We value individualism BK "Have it your way" Our individual rights are all important. Next we studied Community - Since God exisits in Community (trinity) and we are made in his image and he tells us being alone is not good(Gen.)then we need to see what it means to be in community. So restoring community in our church family should be important. Growth as individuals happens best in groups when we help each other and speak truth to each other. There are many different types of groups that have different reasons for getting together. Find one that you fit in and go with it. The service can apply to the kids away at college as well....friends and groups are sometimes hard to find but companionship, help, and growth happen best if you find one you can be a part of.....sort of like your Alpha group(APU)...and I don't know what is available at LETU. Food for thought...we are thinking here as well as to where and what God wants us to participate in.
Dad's ice cream is gone....no more clinking in the bowl and it is late so I am off to bed. Lots to think about and get accomplished tomorrow. Hope this blog finds you all well and resting in the promise that God loves you, has great plans for you, that you are getting on board with those plans, and growing your faith. Love your MoM
