Bible and basketball at FBC

The day began with meetings and ended on the basketball court. Along the way I chatted with Quincy, Jim, the Pierce Home Finance Committee, a table of Rotarians, a small group of clergy, members of a Bible Study group and a couple of parents.

The end of the day was certainly satisfying. I was stimulated by a discussion at our weekly Prayer and Bible Study group hosted by Steve and Patricia Ohlund. The group is reading C. S. Lewis' Meer Christianity. This was the first class I have been able to attend and it was a good one. Lewis can be difficult to understand because he writes like a scholar and his ideas are lofty. Yet through the lively discussion of the group, the fog seems to clear and new realizations dawn on us. This week the group was down a bit but it has seen an average of ten over the first few weeks. I'd go again just to share the coffee and snacks.




The FBC Ballers played basketball tonight. That is Fred Green's team and it is led by a couple of veterans, Cameron Barnhill and JJ Jones. Both of them have been with the program for four years and they are great kids. Cameron was accepted at Norwich Tech this week and he is excited about going there as a freshman next year. Two more boys, Irving and Quan are in their third year. Tonight they played well and ran their record to 4-1.





We played against Andy Miller's team from St. Joseph's School and two of their cheerleaders looked familiar. As soon as I saw Nancy Brockway in the stands I knew why. It was her girls, Jillian Brockway and Avery Spears. that did the cheering.

Well here I am now ready to post my latest blog. After a good nights sleep, we will start all over again tomorrow.So good night. See you in the morning.
