Attended Bible study last night after work at Mercy Baptist Church on Broadway in Englewood. Walked there after work. Rich Nelson's son, Josh is the pastor. Rich led the study.
Josh and Emily are expecting the birth of their first child any moment now. Rich and Marge will become grandparents for the first time.
We traveled through Ephesians. Afterward, I had a great conversation about what it means to be meek among other topics with Jay, Josh's brother in law. We agreed that meek means something along these lines: knowing in humility where you stand in comparison to an Almighty God an Awful and Terrible God. Awful in the sense of "full of Awe". Terrible in the sense that God can be full of terror to violent evildoers and demons.
We in the 21st century use the term " awesome " in such a cavalier way i.e that mocha latte was awesome! That's why I now use awful to describe God's essence and character and majesty.
On my way to the Bible study huge thunderheads formed with the sun shining behind them creating a silver lining. See the pics below.
