Eastview And The Call

There's an upcoming sermon series through Eastview Christian Church entitled "The Call," complete with devotional book. While I have no idea what "The Call" means, it's provided a small group experience that Dena and I haven't enjoyed for some time. On Thursday was the kickoff meet-and-greet at the Stolbum residence:

Steve and Kristin Stolbum - the organizers of the group and the only ones with children.

Jason and Kimberly Harden - the organizers of the running club that is the common thread that brought the group together in the first place.

Rick Krauss - the FedEx delivery man of the Stolbums.

We'll meet for something like six weeks. I anticipate listening to the sermons via podcast. And like many of the short-term groups I've been graced by over the last several years, I look forward to it with a sense of purpose and curiosity. What tidbit or relationship will be gained from this experience that will lead to a subsequent one, and ultimately an exciting new path?

Listening by podcast? First there were fast food drive thrus, then pharmacy drive thrus, delivery pizza, drycleaning drive thrus, telecommuting and now sermon podcasts. Pretty soon, you could never leave your house. Or change your clothes. Although Dena may have something else to say on that matter.

Little known fact: "Jesus" was actually a stunt double, and Jesus worked exclusively from home. The original last book of the Bible explained all that, but evidently the performance was so bad that the Stone Actors' Guild censured it.
