No artist in recent history has captured the essence of the meaninglessness of time better than Salvador Dali. In his famous painting of time we see clocks melting symbolizing how twisted and crazy time can be. This is the picture we used this week to avertise our Bible Study in Ecclesiastes 3. The question on top of the flyer asked the question: "Is there really a time for everything?" Let me say right off, thanks for praying for my skills in coffee. I guess those 3 months at Caribou Coffee didn't help me for last weeks motor oil in a caraffe, but this week the go go juice was much better. This week we had 11 people in our group going over the amazing poem that Solomon gives us in chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. The conversation could not have been better. We had skeptics questioning Solmon's wisdom and we had others lamenting the pain of a world filled with death, loss, and war. We had others give testimony as to how through Christ there is hope and still one other student not say a word during the entire study. I want to thank you for your prayers...God has certainly been faithful in nudging people to come and see what he has to offer.
After group we all went out for Tapas. This is a traditional Spanish dish and we met even more people at the Tapas Bar. It was Carlos' birthday and so as in our country we all celebrated. However, unlike in our country it is tradition for the one who is having the birthday to pay for everyone. So we felt honored that Carlos would invite us...and pay for us. Amazing!
Each week Jesse and Sophie (the leaders of En Vivo) have us over just to hang out and have a meal. Tonight we are going over there and tomorrow is our last day of Spanish class. We simply can't believe it has gone by this fast.
We love you all and hope you are doing well.
Peace.
Gregg
