Well - tonight is the night of the annual "Friendship Banquet". Some entertainment lined out, a few fun games, and some great food is scheduled. I know the pork shoulders sure smelled good when I took them out of the smoker last night (11 hour smoke...fallin' off the bone!).
This year's theme is a bit different - instead of getting all formal, and having lots of silverware to wash, and people getting worn out before it even begins - we are nocking the formality way down. Further - as an interesting connection to this very page - the theme is "Who is on Your Friends List?". The scripture tied to this is Hebrews 12:1-2. The idea is this: we find ourselves surrounded by "friends", both in our "real life", and for many - online. What does our "friends list" reflect about us? Further, are the friends on our list the type that are described in the Hebrews passage- friends who you can rely upon in their influence, example, and support, that you can turn lose of the sin that so easily besets us. Are those we are around the kind that we can truly call a "team" that not only makes us better, but ultimately brings honor and glory to God? IF not, then maybe it is time to re-evaluate our friends list!
I hope you all can make it tonight staring at 6:00PM.
