Wednesday at Sondernach

We woke up to a cold morning with frost on the ground, but by midday the sun was shining bright with warm temperatures. Progress continued on our project. There was painting, pouring concrete, cleaning, and mudding to be done. The guys even dug an 5X4 area in the basement entry way to pour concrete tomorrow. In the meantime I finished reading my second book of the trip, "Ancient Future Faith" by Robert Webber. Robert Webber recently passed away. He was a professor at Northern Seminary. He contends that our times (future) are similar to the times of the early church (ancient) and we can learn much from how the early Christians lived their faith. I really liked the part where he explained creed (the basics of the faith), confessions (what makes denominations different from each other), and personal opinion (of course that's your opinion). Creeds are what everyone needs to believe as followers of Jesus. Confessions are what makes denominations different and we need to be careful not to put them on the same level as creeds. Of course personal opinion is just that and you really need to be humble with that. Now I picked up the book "Picturing the Gospel." Images that the Bible uses to explain the Christian faith. Well, it's almost time for supper so I'll say goodbye for now. Until tomorrow.
These are the days my friend,
