CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In his excellent book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster states that many books are about quests, people searching for something. Examples are King Arthur tales, Oliver Twist, The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars. Common themes in quest stories are that the hero faces adventure, learns more about himself on the quest, learns more about life, and often finds that he is actually seeking something different than what he originally sought after. We can see such patterns in our own lives. We may search for fame, for power, for money, but what we really need and eventually seek is God. Further, in continually seeking God, we discover new things about ourselves, about life and about God. We find God is different than what we originally may have thought. Keep seeking God. In doing so, you will shed old clothes and be renewed with new clothing, becoming new again and again.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We shall gather for fellowship at the Abridged Beer Company immediately after we break.
