words words words words

I was with a group of friends last night, reading the bible, eating biscuits and talking...

And I've decided that the bible is one of the most fanscinating, infuriating and yet hope-filling book i have ever read!

But what interests me most is how used we are to just saying words, so often our conversations would look like this (looking at 1Peter 1):

"so what should we set our hope on?"
"the Grace of God revealed in Jesus"
"cool"
"um....what!?"

so we expand and hit things like this, "well it makes us one with our father"...so?!

This, I think, is what gives community such a vital element-we are searching, probing (sometimes it feels like guessing) along a path...sometimes they are just words and answers, but every now and then that

so?!

leads to something brilliant....

I must spend more time with my Father.
