One of the things that we are committing to doing as a church this year is paying attention to the people who cross our path.  Every day, a number of people, strangers and acquaintances cross our path.  Each encounter is opportunity to bless someone and perhaps be blessed by someone.  I had such an encounter Wednesday night.  A friend from Fuller, who I will call Sawyer(for all you Losties out there), invited me and another guy, whom I will call Sayid, over for Bean soup and cornbread.  It was a great night full of good conversation and delicious soup.  Sawyer is a new father so we also took turns holding their new baby girl.  It was nice to hold a newborn again...I had forgotten what that felt like.  

Sayid was curious about the house church so I shared with him about the Well. It is a possibility he may stop by for a visit one of these Sundays.   Whether he does or not, I hope our paths get to cross again in the future.   I felt real comradarie with Sawyer and Sayid, and left our night of Bean soup encouraged.

Who has crossed your path this week?
