It's 10:16 and feels like at least 1 am. What a day! Our friends John and Heather Chapman, along with their 3 month old, 2.5 yr old, and 4 yr old kids, arrived just in time for lunch. We had a full afternoon and a full house. The two dogs (Ellie at 120? lbs) and the visiting cat certainly added to the craziness.After dinner we ran down to the Comunidad for the kick-off night of Level 2 of our discipleship course, Nueva Vida en Cristo. Attendance and enthusiasm were both high. The lesson tonight was more complex and meaningful for me than some of the basic lessons of Level 1, and I'm excited to see the growth I think it will facilitate for our participants.
I was also pleased to see more sincerity and vulnerability from the women in my small group . Sometimes when we get to questions like, "What things are displacing God in your life?" they want to give the "right" answer and say that they don't have any weaknesses. Tonight I saw them open up and share a little more about how work, family, TV, etc. can become "idols" in their lives.
