What an honor to host our friend, the Rev. Dr. Bill McElvaney for a book signing at Lookout Point on January 18! His 8th book, Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation, is an invitation and challenge to wrestle with the Church’s God-given justice vocation.
Dr. McElvaney is a long time peace and justice advocate in both the local church and academy. He served for years as a pastor of United Methodist congregations, president of St. Paul School of Theology, and professor of preaching and worship at Perkins School of Theology, SMU, Dallas. In addition, he was one of my favorite professors when I was a ministry student years ago!
All proceeds from his book benefit two charities. If you want to struggle to make the connection between faith and social reality, get a copy of his book at Barnes & Noble.com or Amazon. com. What an amazing man.

Wafting through the inn today were the peals of laughter, carols sung in three part harmony, and the delicious scent of maple praline bread pudding baking.
These wonderful women, The Babes of Wine & Roses, celebrated time together with a luncheon at Lookout Point. The organizer, Kit, commented in an e-mail to Lookout Point:
Dear Kristie & Ray, On behalf of The Babes of Wine and Roses, many thanks for a terrific luncheon today. We all agreed that you have a charming Inn and it was so much fun to take your tour. Our luncheon was a great success due to your gracious hospitality. Thank you for making this one terrific Christmas party for our group. We will definitely be letting our neighbors know what a gem you have there and also other Red Hat groups in The Village. Thanks again.

20th annual Ouachita Jeep Jamboree
Guests Shelle & Alberto traveled from Dallas to participate in the challenging Jeep Jamboree held outside of Hot Springs. With rocky vertical challenges, mud pits, water crossings, and various competitions, the Jamboree brought participants from around the U.S. At times, Shelle and Alberto found the rock challenges not only thrilling, but nail biting. With a jeep covered in mud, they had a great time! Thanks for staying at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn! We’re guessing the whirlpool tub at the end of the day soothed a few sore muscles.
The inn is only 4 1/2 hours from Dallas, so the guests were able to depart for Dallas and make it home in time to attend the Dallas Cowboys game. Sweet.

After a stressful time of graduate studies and work, the two deserve a beautiful honeymoon. Best wishes!

One of mother nature’s unexpected “gifts” is a water fountain “pond” filled with brim. I’m not a fisherperson, but it’s those lake fish with a blue spot on their sides. There’s probably 100 brim in the pond, plus the 30 goldfish. We are continually inviting guests to fish the brim, and release them the lake—-or take them home in their own cooler. I’m not cooking the fish!
Today our wonderful guest Raymond enjoyed some fishing in our pond, and caught 3 brim in a short amount of time. Yeah! The one goldfish snagged was happily released to swim with his friends.
If you want some easy fishing, come on to Lookout Point. Pull up a chair, sit in the shade, and fish away. Sip on a glass of wine or beer, and RELAX.
I haven’t figured out how to have a fishing tournament in our pond. Any ideas?
