Genesis.........Following the Lord........Caring for each other

Hello Friends!!!
I thought we had a good turn-out this morning in class considering the time change and the great social we had last night!!! Mucho Grande Gracias to the Fucuas for throwing a fabulous Mexican fiesta at their beautiful home!!! We all had a GREAT time!!!
Thanks also to Tim Troutman for leading us in our lesson today!!! Lots of good discussions as we continued in Tony Campolo's book. I found the poem that I made mention to today. Thought I would include it for thought this week.
