I love the 4th of July.  What I love most about it is summed up in two words, fireworks and food.  For whatever reason, when you get a bunch of people together looking up in the sky watching fireworks, something happens - community.  When you get a group of people together slamming down hot dogs and hamburgers and drinking their favorite beverage something happens - community.

So what should we do this weekend?  I think it is pretty simple.  The 4th of July is the best opportunity you will have this summer to eat with and listen to people.  Go where the people are, eat with them, listen to them, and you never know where the conversation will lead.  Hopefully they will see you as an ordinary person and they will sense what is different about you: that you have been with Jesus.

Enjoy!
