Fireside Friendships

C.S. Lewis asks, "Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a fire?," to which I respond: "You know, Clive, I don't think there is. Nope, nothing finer."

This weekend, I had the grand pleasure of packing up and heading out into the blustery wilderness that is Cheaha State Park with sizeable group of sweet friends. Though a grey cloud followed us by day, we were blessed with a beautiful clear night under the harvest moon. As we gathered around the fire, I couldn't help but think of ole C.S.'s words. It's not even thanksgiving yet, and I'm already glowing with gratitude for what a blessing it is to be a part of the church without walls.
