Hi Beachside buoys and gulls! (nautical reference intended)
I hope that you are all taking the opportunity this summer to study along in Pastor Chuck Smith's book... "Why Grace Changes Everything." 
I was reading in chapter 9 of the book today and came across this verse from the book of Galatians...here is what it says;

"If ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." 
(Galatians 5:15)

Take a look at this verse and think on it for a while. What does Paul mean by this? I can't remember the last time that I went to church and was concerned about being bitten or devoured by a hungry junior high student! I have been "grilled" by some of you with your great insights and deep questions...but as far as I know, I haven't been on the menu yet, so to speak. So what does this mean? Have you ever been bitten, devoured, or consumed by another...or at least felt that way? It's certainly something to think about...and talk about...and post right here about. Let's all figure this out. In the mean time...all this talk of consuming has made be hungry, so...pizza it is! Hope to see you all again soon. Blessings friends!
