I have a great dog. His name is Buster and he's a pug.  Buster (a.k.a. "The Bus") loves to go for rides. It doesn't matter where I'm going. All I have to do is say, "BUSTER! RIDE?" And the crazy dog starts dancing and jumping and jumps on the front door, thereby letting me know he's ready to GO! When I was a boy growing up in Southern California, Friday was a great day, because after dinner our dad would ask, "Who wants to go and get some ice cream?". Well, my brother Joh and I didn't jump around and bark or scratch at the door, we would usually say, "Yes, Sir!" and jump in the family station wagon, indicating our willingness to join the excursion! Saturday afternoons, after the chores were finished, we all would sometimes just jump into the 'wagon, and set off without a plan. These were the best rides! Dad would say, "I just read a magazine article about..(fill in the blank)...so let's go and see if we can find it!" Adventure! Suspense! Drama (my mom would say, "Raymond,  this is a Plymouth station wagon, NOT a jeep", especially if the road was unpaved)!

Our new Sunday School class reminds me a lot like those great auto excursions. At Pioneer Church, when we open the Word of God,  I'm always surprised where we end up! We've started looking at  1 Samuel, yet we're going to spend some time in Genesis! From there we're going to look at the Gospels. Talk about a grand tour!The great thing about exploring God's word, is that it's never dull - people make it dull, but the Word itself is EXCITING because it can change our lives! So, if you like exploring, or have a curious or adventurous streak in you, join us Sunday morning and see for yourself what it's all about!
