We got to church yesterday after missing two Sundays in a row due to HW2's nasty cold. She rightfully did not want to infect folks there, so we stayed home and hibernated. At church, John read a passage from Corinthians that is a favorite of mine in which is made the comment that, "the greatest of these is love." In his sermon he talked about "Now and Then,"
making his points in a splendid manner. After church we decided to go to the Adriatic Restaurant for lunch and had lasagne and eggplant parmigiana. It was great. There were other folks there also from church, and they came by talking about "Then and Now" from John's sermon. As we left with dessert in a box, one of the folks asked us if it was sin in the box. I commented that it was not NOW but probably would be THEN when I got around to sampling it. We all laughed, and we headed home. John's point that love now is imperfect and seen dimly, but after we pass on we will experience God's perfect love, then fully and seen clearly. What an inspiring way to begin a Sunday. We are truly blessed to enjoy this pastor's message each week and look forward to our times together as a congregation. Happy travels.
