The good the bad and no ugly
So day one is over. I am once again sipping a cup of Bija laxative tea and planning on going to bed soon. I am still 275 lbs which seems impossible because i had to pee every half hour it seemd like. The tea didnt do much for me in fact maybe had the other affect but it is only day one so we shall see. On the bright side it was out small group night tonight and things were kinda tense. People were actually a bit put off by the alpha series last week because the videos seemed too basic, which threw Amy and I for a bit of a loop and left us wondering what now. So some people were late and a couple couldnt make it but we decided to sit down and discuss a vision for what we should do over the next few weeks. I shared mostly that I felt God nudging us to do something instead of the usuall nothing and I shared where I was coming from in wanting to facilitate a time in our lives where we got together with God as a focus instead of happy hour or a reno party. Time to listen and hear God and talk to each other. It seems to have been the right thing to do because at the end we decided we would do the alpha videos and just see where things went after that. It was a huge weight off my shoulder because I felt like the Alpha videos where an opportunity to review our foundations and wrestle with some of the finer points so that we could move on all on board at the same place. I didnt have any plan B! Thankyou to those of you that have been praying for us I think tonight was a hurdle to our moving forward for better things and we were able to get over it. :)

Don't worry-the Alpha videos start off a little slow (you watched "Christianity: Boring, Irrelevant, Untrue?" I am assuming?)but they definitely pick up and get a lot meatier. They're designed to not scare people off right away, but to get an interest warmed up. You'll be having long, in-depth discussions in no time!
