Six intrepid souls braved the cold wind to join our discussion about "when should the kingdom resist the empire?" Opinions varied from "always" (due to the natural tension between kingdom and empire) to "whenever we see the empire acting unjustly."

This was Beth's first time to visit. Welcome, Beth!
Joseph took 14 minutes to discuss some of his latest thinking on theology and Larry shared the news from Casey that he and Kasey are moving to Abilene, so Casey can take a new position with Abilene Christian University. Casey and Kasey, we'll miss you. Vaya con Dios!
J.D. stepped up and volunteered to help maintain this blog. You should see his input as soon as I get him authoring rights.
We'll meet again on January 29. The group suggested we spend some time reading and blogging about what we read between now and then, then we'll talk about our holiday reading at our next meeting.
To inspire you, J.D. says he is going to finish the 3 or 4 books he started this year but never finished. Sounds like a great place to start! (That means I should finish the Shack and The Blue Parakeet...)
So leave a comment and tell us what you're reading.
Maranatha!
