This song seems to be appropriate for the times in which we live. “Russians” comes from the 1985 album Dream of The Blue Turtles. Sting’s early solo work inspired me and helped me shape my world view as a teenager. America might not be at odds with the Russians like we were back in the day but there is still a little animosity. Today there are new people we are afraid of.
Hello fellow bloggers, how are you today? I hope it will be a great day for each of us.
Last night we went out with friends from church. Since joining St. Peter’s Episcopal Church here in Chattanooga we have been blessed with a great Sunday school group called “The Table”. Some of us met up at a local restaurant called Clyde’s On Main for dinner. We dined on various things from barbecue to sandwiches to mac and cheese. After polishing off our meal we headed to the Hot Chocolatier for dessert and more conversation. We even stopped off at a local distillery to taste samples of Chattanooga Whiskey which is made in downtown Chattanooga.
Our evening out was fun and much needed for many of us after the week that was. Getting out and about can bring a group closer together. We did miss those who couldn’t be with us though.

It is my belief that faith is meant to be lived in community with people who you choose share your spiritual journey with. Christianity has a bad rap in some circles but when you find like-minded people it can be a good thing. I am grateful to be a part of an open-minded group of people who loves God with our brains, hearts and soul.
If you deny you are weird then you probably are.
Hey the weekend is here, let’s cheer. Are ya ready for some fun?
