Each time we meet, It will be our goal to carefully study these words as the Bereans did in Acts 17:11 who, "examined the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." We hope to "test o …

These are the voyages of the Western Suburban Science-Fiction Book Club... Our continuing mission: to seek out the most compelling, discussion-provoking science-fiction (and occasionally, fantasy) novels and gather together to chat about them over dinner. It's a pretty good mission. Reading sci-fi suggests certain nerdish... leanings, but don't be afraid: our group is all-inclusive. Yes, I'm sure a few of us qualify as geeks, but we're all socially well-adjusted and reasonably freshly showered t …

It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …
