On the home stretch...

We're almost there!  If you're on track, you will have finished reading the whole Bible by Sunday.  Congratulations!  Even if you've not finished, you can drop by the church (if you're in Arlington) on Sunday, April 25, at 9:45 am, 2666 Military Road, for a little celebration, sign the "wall of accomplishment" and have a little cake.  By undertaking this 90 day adventure, we've started to lift the heavy cloud of biblical illiteracy--just a little.  I found so much this week to be thankful for--reminders that God is still speaking.  I'm reminded that all those old phrases like: the "communion of the saints," "grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus," --all that ties us together in a very large and enduring church, even though we are such weak vessels.  I also remember that someone once told me, "God must love the church, because people would have killed it off a long time ago."
So we press on to the finish...
