The time has come once again to begin to develop friendships with new people. It's been awhile since I've made a new friend. I would consider Taaha to be a friend, but he decided to move to Chicago so I've only seen him once in the past six months.
These new folks are a part of the Wednesday night class we started going to at church in January. (In fact, we've gone about 8 weeks in a row, which is pretty remarkable for us.) The people we are meeting are great -- although I must say there aren't many males in this little group. But the one male that is there invited me to play basketball with him a couple of weeks ago, which led to me playing basketball and subsequently being very...very soar for the next 3 days.
Most importantly I've been exposed to Scripture and eight more sermons than I would have been otherwise. The video series is called "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere. In it he preaches about living free of offense. Not being offended by people, handling offense correctly, forgiving, etc. At first I found the guy kind of annoying (mostly his preaching style), but after awhile I warmed up to it. And he's got some darn good things to say.
PhilAndrea are coming up to D-Town this weekend. Should be a good time to catch-up and be friends...and maybe sneak in a game or two of late-night Tecmo Bowl. It's going to be a rip-roaring SouthEastern Michigan weekend.
