Hiding Naked in the Garden ...

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” The man said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”  (Genesis 3:8-10 NRSV)

One of the things I so appreciate about LOG is that we don't have to hide from one another.

OK - we are intentional about keeping the doors closed when changing clothes.  But most of the time we're pretty open with each other.

Like Sunday - at the LOG #69 team meeting.

One of us was saddened by being unable to help a friend and another was distraught about a sibling's health.  Emotions were exposed.  Feelings were bare.

But both team members chose to come into the presence of the love of God as found in the love of friends.  Both were comforted.  Others helped them bear their burdens.  They were lifted in prayer and surrounded with love.

I am so thankful for this community where we do not have to hide from God - or each other (even if we do sometimes hide from the camera). 

Scroll down to see some photos of those who don't hide from the camera (thanks, Lucy) but be sure to note all the important info between here and there!
