New Beginnings

I think it is so fitting that we are reading about the Beginnings and re- beginnings in this weeks parasha as we "begin" our new groups this week. I have been reading through the parasha this week and again am amazed at Gods master plan for his creation, and his people. He does not give up, even though we continue to mess up he reaches out to us time and time again with a plan of hope saying to us, "You are my people, I am your God. This is my plan and this is how you can partner with me." Praise God for his mercy and grace.
