Short Hiatus

Dear Brothers:

Greetings!  I'm going to be helping out a family tomorrow, so we won't have our usual get-together.  Between now and our as-yet-to-be-determined next official gathering, stay tuned to our blog and your email.  I would like, in early August, to have a lunch meeting at The Egg & I restaurant to plan our local mission project.  Again, stay tuned.

Keep reading!  Stay engaged!  Set aside time, daily, for meditation and prayer.  To our joys and concerns list, I would add the plight of the Iraqi Christians.  On a happier note, rejoice that many young people are having spirits, minds, and bodies nourished at the Synod Youth Conference.  Our own Robert Jones is with the young people at our church.

Edition XX !!!

Dear Brothers:

We've reached the twentieth edition of THE NICODEMUS LEAGUE!  We'll celebrate tomorrow--at our usual time and gathering place--with a discussion on how to put our spirits, minds, and bodies into a mission project!  You'll also learn about something your host is up to; it's called The Pryor Complex.

Panera box lunches will be featured.  Music will be included, and we'll wrap it up with your joys and concerns!

See you tomorrow!

EDITION XIX (19) TOMORROW!

Brothers:

Greetings!  I look forward to enjoying another mid-week repose (#19, to be exact)tomorrow!

We'll hear some music from Bill Conti, take a longer look at last Sunday's Gospel (from Matthew 11), play some mental "ping pong" with a book (The Day of Battle) and a TV series (The Walking Dead), and finish up with a brief introduction to something I've called THE PRYOR COMPLEX.

If interested, read more at:  http://pryorcomplex.blogspot.com  :)

As always, we'll enjoy lunch and the sharing, prayerfully, of our joys and concerns.  

I love THE NICODEMUS LEAGUE!  I hope you do too!

See you tomorrow...
