We just had some great people over for supper. Keith and Sandy Troost are some of the folks we have gotten to be friends with here in Boonville. We had chicken and sausage in a Cajun cream sauce over brown rice. Turned out pretty good, if I say so myself. Keith is a coffee drinker like I am so we drank a considerable mount of coffee.
As I have mentioned before, I think, we have made good friends here in Boonville. I really did not expect to do so. I figured that we would just kind of hang around until we left. I guess the problem is that we like to entertain and cook for others. So, it was natural to invite people over and cook dinner for them. Of course, when I have people nearby, I cannot help but ask them about themselves, and soon I get to know them.
We really do not have a lot in common with the Troosts when it really comes down to it, but we like each other. That is the beauty of Christianity: the fact that disparate people can get together and get to know each other. One thing I have always enjoyed about being a pastor is that I have the chance to talk to and visit with anyone, no matter what the strata of society they may be in. and whether or not we have “things in common” as such, we get along together as members of the body of Christ. I like that.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
