Have you looked at your birth certificate lately? If it says you were born between 1946 and 1964, welcome to my world. You and I are officially considered "Baby Boomers". What do we have in common? Well, we're over 59, which means accumulated wisdom (I believe). We share a unique time and space. We were born in the middle of the 20th century, and we hope to live to the middle of the 21st. When our earliest members were born, only 141 million people lived in the U.S. Today there are over 295 million. In this class we'll share a bunch of facts, fiction, and fun. I hope you can join us...especially if you're a Boomer who believes, "We're not over the hill...we're just reaching the top."

Scripture tells us that God, who does not change, has spoken in many forms and in many ways. He counsels us speaking in dreams, puzzles, riddles and parables of life. What have we been missing when we simply thought that was a strange dream and then promptly forgot about it without seeking divine interpretation? Dreams are his personal letters to us. We will explore the basic principles of dream interpretation using the biblical model.
