I was encouraged to start this blog as a place to share some of my views and information on family, religion, current events and everyday life. I will also include articles and columns from others who share my viewpoints.

Welcome Back Dave Black!!
David Black just got back from his trip to Ethiopia, where he and his wife have been working with the churches and the people in Ethiopia. It's good to see him back and to see his site updated once again. Be sure to visit both the front page and his blog to get all of us updates. I emailed Dave shortly before he returned, to let him know that he was in my families prayers ant that we had missed him while he was gone. While we have never met him personally, we do feel like we know him, I guess it's because we seem to think alike on so many issues.

Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Take a look on e-bay, and you'll find some cheesy items up for sale. But probably none as "cheesy" as this one. The on-line auction website, e-bay, took a grilled cheese sandwich listing. It's half of a sandwich the owner claims is ten-years old and bears an image of the Virgin Mary.
Click here to see this eBay listing.
The funniest thing is all of the eBay listings that are taking advantage of the "Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich" in their auction keywords.

I was "rolling on the floor" after seeing some of these listings this morning!

What is Christian Fellowship?
I like what Jim Davis has written about Christian fellowship:
Church attendance is often substituted for fellowship. To some fellowship is like a jar full of marbles. The marbles are in the same jar but there is little togetherness. The marbles have little effect on each other as they roll around in a jar. They just bump into one another. But real fellowship is more like a jar of grapes that bleed on one another. Fellowship should allow our faith to rub off on one another. The first believers had real spiritual needs that led them into fellowship with others. As they came into this fellowship of other believers with the same needs, they naturally bled on one another.
Too often church attendance turns us into iceberg Christians where we just float around and bump into one another. One fellow visited a church and gave his description of those in attendance. He said, "I don't want to say that it was a cold church, but the ushers had on ice skates." The first fellowship meeting had little to do with church attendance and everything to do with togetherness.
