.: moments over a meal :.

I had the chance to hang with some friends from Mount Hermon tonight. Just in the matter of time that it took to show up, get seated, order, eat, pay and leave, we all had a refreshing time of feeling like we were back there... if only for a couple hours. Our lives have continued. Things have changed - some drastic and some expected. But we all really found ourselves encouraged in our brief meal together. For isn't that what some of our great moments in life consist of? A time in which we mentally and emotionally place ourselves back in those even greater moments of any given history, and recall what it was like to have life as we have been hoping for some time? Yes, we need these deep breaths of restoration to continue on in the journey... to keep on "keeping on".
