God is… so… nice.
Not only did He save me from eternal damnation by sacrificing His only Son…He also gives me good things, though I don’t deserve them.  For example, a Tuesday dinner with a good friend.  We went to a place that was new to me AND it was Scottish cuisine, Tam OShanters.  I had the best corned beef ever!  I also enjoyed the creamed spinach (and I don’t even like spinach).  Additionally, the conversation was so great and meaningful and edifying that 5 hours flew by and we literally did not notice it.  See?  God doesn’t have to give me anything.  Hope and heaven are plenty, but these little earthly pleasures are just glimpses into God’s kindness.

Oh, and I walked into Worship Team rehearsal tonight to be surprised by one Adam Powell who is in CA for spring break from DTS.  We hung out after rehearsal and and caught up on the last 6 months.  Again, God’s just nice to us.
