First things first, we decided to meet this coming Monday 12/17 @ 8:30 instead of next Thursday. That will be our last meeting for a couple weeks so make sure you are there. Some people need to catch up on the reading a bit, so let's just make it so that you must finish Ch. 3 by this Monday.
Next, I want to remind everybody about Buky, the kid Jeremiah told us about. We have a chance to bring freedom to a prisoner, so I want to encourage all of you to be praying about some way that you can help him. It could be money, it could be a Christmas present, it could be an offer to tutor him. Or maybe one of you has an extra bed in your house. It might take some convincing of your parents but pray hard (as the bumper sticker says). I want to talk about this more on Monday. Maybe we can band together as a small group and think of a way that we can help this kid out. Something like working out a ride schedule where we each take him to school one day. But I don't really know the kid's needs so Jeremiah will have to enlighten us more. Also, I want to know if this is making any of you nervous, it might.
We had a lot of great discussions last night I thought so bravo gentlemen. One that we touched on a little was the topic of truth. I heard a podcast a little while ago by a "guest" speaker at Mars Hill Bible Church that I thought was interesting (he is actually the Junior High Pastor). It is by far the edgiest message I have ever heard at this church, but he makes some very interesting points. The link is: http://marshill.org/teaching/index.php. Once you get to the page click on the mp3 option next to the message for November 18th titled The Table - Steve Carter.
Lastly, we had some great discourse on this blog last week but only three people took part in it. I would love to see all of us take an active part in them. See you all Monday (unless you can't make it in which case I will be expecting a phone call or e-mail or comment). peaceLoveHOPE

About Buki,
Jorge (my brother-in-law), he, and my dad are talking about his situation in private, and im not exactly sure what his status is. for now i think the best thing to do is to pray for him. (by the way, as far as we know, he is a believer. hopefully his circumstances won't have a negative affect on his faith).
i'll try to find out as much as i can about his situation, and what his greatest needs will be.
peace

when i said "he" in the first line, i meant Buki.
