I planned to go to a 6PM meeting tonight, but a friend was up for an 8PM one. So I went to both! Good plan... The 6PM's topic was a little difficult for me to relate to; most everyone was sharing about children being affected by parents drinking and such. Still, I'm glad I was there. A newcomer approached me as I was leaving and asked me for my number. How funny is it that I noticed his Baptist church t-shirt early in the meeting and mentally checked him off as someone who wouldn't want anything to do with me? Then I thought about how it's a shame that the "good" Baptists are so tainted by the "bad" ones. Thanks, God. Maybe he'll call.

The second meeting was pretty cool. I hadn't been to it in years. It's a moderated step-study, where someone shares on a step speaker-style (8 tonight) for about 20 minutes and then calls on someone in the group to share. After sharing, that person calls on someone else and so on. It was a good meeting. I think I'll go again.
