Are you ready for another “Taste of Rome”? In our Wednesday Night Class last Fall, we enjoyed the “Antipasti” [starter], and the “Primi” [hot dish] courses as we studied Chapters 1 through 8 of Paul’s letter to The Church in Rome. Starting September 11, we will dive right into the “Secondi” [meat and seafood] course, along with the “Contorini” [vegetables] and “Insalata” [salad] courses, before finishing up with the traditional “Dolce” [dessert] course as we try to squeeze in Chapters 9 through 16. Looking forward to seeing and “dining” with you this Fall, and remember: “L’appetito vien mangiando” – “The appetite comes while you are eating!”

Preparing for tonight's class on Romans. The Apostle Paul quotes from The Old Testament where God says, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." Seems a little tough, right? The context shows God was talking about the nation of Edom that descended from Esau, and which rejoiced at, and even participated in, the calamity that befell Israel. These people thought their hatred of Israel was justified. God said, "No - they are your brothers." I wonder how many brothers I have out there who I despise, or simply ignore, or look down on, "justifiably so", in my puny mind? But hey - I get the 5 acts of worship right every Sunday, so God and I are good, right? Maybe? Oh Lord, change my heart!
