  One more thing before bed tonight... I was thinking about some new people who have come into my life over the past few weeks, and it's just so interesting...One never knows who is going to pop into your life and how they're going to get there.
I forget sometimes how deeply we are changed by the presence of PEOPLE in our lives, or how QUICKLY they can make us think and feel and love. [begin sidetrack] Tom Pauquette (for future reference referred to simply as "Tom" and he is the Senior Pastor at the Grove City Vineyard...) Tom was reviewing the church's mission statement when I was up there visiting. It is "to be a church for people who didn't think they'd like church..." emphasizing that Sunday the words, "for people. " He jokingly said we're not a church for pets, or a church because the Vineyard needed a franchise on the southwest side of town.
We're a church for PEOPLE, and that's why we exist. I really think that I'm learning to love PEOPLE more; I PRAY that I would love PEOPLE more cause they're all that really matters. [end sidetrack] It really IS like a new storyline begun every time we meet someone new, cause you never know what is going to come of that friendship. Fun stuff, and we're changed by that "stuff" everyday.
