December 18, 2008 – Lenore and I went to the Argyle Bible Study Lunch. We’ve signed up for the winter, and I enjoyed it and got a lot from it. We talked about humility, about money worries, about the danger of building empires. I feel very close to God in this group, honest and open men struggling with how to be better men, led by Steve McLean, with whom they obviously feel comfortable and close. It is always rare for men to talk like this, and I really savor it.
  We talked about the importance of understanding that peace and security doesn’t come from money, but is internal, and then I spent a bit taking photos in the sanctuary for Steve. The group meets again in January and I plan to be there. We talk,  do some Bible study. These farmers say little, but say much. I appreciate the gift of being there.
