The theme of our last Disciple class was "Clay Pots" - we are the clay, God is the potter. Well, you KNEW I was going to go all literal on the class - they were great sports at shaping and re-shaping their clay throughout the lesson.

The last look at my two vehicles together before
Colorado Public Radio sent someone to take away my Betty. :(

Hey, that's my car! Step away
from that car, you unknown man.

Dang, I'm more attached to that thing than I thought...
Bought her on September 11, 2001. Yes, 9/11/01.

Last look as she leaves Castle Rock for her new home... Sigh.

Describe a time when you experienced forgiveness.

I spent some quiet time before our Council meeting in the Soul Schopp downstairs at Bethany (watch the video here). The room is 4-keyed to include Rituals/Traditions, Caring Conversations, Devotions, and Service. One of the many coffee tables had these awesome, conversation-starting coasters from Vibrant Faith Ministries. Love it. A most amazing youth room.

What piece of music speaks to you spiritually? How?
What characteristics do you look for a friend and/or a life partner?

The calming stones in the bowl,
each stirring more conversation.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
