How 'bout we focus on 1:24 through 2:5. I look forward to seeing everyone Monday AM. I'm on vacation next week, but here in town to catch my Astros vs. the Royals. And, as you probably know, Mark K. will be in Florida with his family for this and the next week.

2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
All,
Greetings! Just to get us on the same "page" for our next meeting this coming Monday, I think we have gotten through verse 23 of chapter 1 (please correct me if I'm wrong). From there, we could go as far as verse 7 of chapter 2, but there are several possible stopping points along the way: 1:29, 2:3, or 2:5. Take a look, let all know what you think, then ... we'll dig in!
