  • If It's Thursday . . .


    Thursdays have become very close to Fridays in my ranking of days that can be counted on to be wonderful.  On Thursday evening I take my kids to the basement of the First Baptist Church of Salem where a really great cook serves dinner.  Then the kids go to play group, while I meet with a discussion group. 


    It was supposed to be a class, but the "teacher" doesn't "teach."  Seven adults sit around a table and discuss the topic of the week.  We have had some wonderful topics and very lively discussion over the past six weeks.  Tonight, we are discussing the spiritual discipline of "submission."  This discipline is probably the least understood and most abused facet of religious practice.  For too many people, submission is just a code word for bondage.


    I expect that the discussion tonight will be interesting.  Wouldn't you all like to be in the corner?
