Children of God
Last night the we met up with the Barkers, Simpsons, Jordan and Bethany for dinner. We played some trivia – I won by the slimmest of margins against Jake – and had a great time. We went out afterwards but Nicole had to go home to rest since she is working this weekend. We ended up back at the Barker’s to watch Children of Men. I would love to say something profound, but really, it was just us living life in fellowship. Don’t misinterpret that. The time we spend together is amazing, and I truly feel blessed to be there with my wife and our friends…I just don’t have a verbose or profound way to put it into words other than saying it was fellowship. After all, when Jesus and the Twelve had dinner, wasn’t that fellowship? When God walked with Adam and Eve or with Noah, wasn’t that fellowship? When we spend quiet time with the Creator and hold the Hand that holds the world, isn’t that fellowship? When you send your friend a birthday card and enclose a gift card to Starbucks because you wish you could take them there in person but can’t – isn’t that fellowship in some form? Does the complexity of the act supersede the simplicity of the name? I think so.
