reminders are good

We were reminded why we do what we do last night.



We've had bad days, even bad weeks where we really wonder what's going on over here. Is this really doing anything? Why can't we all get along. Then, just like that, the Lord offered us a simple reminder tonight in our network group.

There was such an energy in the group tonight. A sense that people really wanted to be there (you know the small groups that barely have a heartbeat). This group is lively, energetic, comical, curious and motivated. We have sooo much fun when we get together.

Tonight was our network group and 16 people showed up! It was such a great night. There were students and 9-5ers with Polish, Scottish, American, Canadian, English, Northern Irish, and German backgrounds.

Dave, a graduate student from Northern Ireland showed up at Eikon yesterday having heard of "Eikon" a few years back. When he saw our flyer, he thought it must be the one and brought his flat-mate. Our Eikon ended up being the wrong Eikon, but they liked it so much, they came along to our network group tonight. Such a cool guy.

I just get this sense that people at Eikon really are looking for movement in their faith. I see people genuinely getting involved, and asking questions and arguing and debating faith and the teachings of Christ.

This is why we're here.

Reminders are good.
