Dining in the Holy Land

 I am in the Lutheran Holy Land of Minnesota attending a conference, and lefse potato cheesecake is on the menu at my hotel.  During dinner last night, the one where I noticed the lefse cheesecake, we were a gathering of friends going back 10 years, and some going back 10 minutes.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit shows off when gathering groups together -- connections are made that only God could pull off.  May we bask in deep friendships all the while keeping our hearts open and an extra chair available. Because we never know when God will bring someone we need and who needs us.  God is wily like that, and that is good news indeed.
