No worries. People just came and hung out.
I love that. I love the gift of people's company. (Okay, technically, that picture was taken when we went camping a few weeks ago, and there were actually MORE fun people at my house last night. But, this gives you some idea.) Mostly I love it b/c most of my friends live WAY across town and so visiting my house means they drive a few miles. And we could share life together for a few hours. And eat delicious food (like homemade salsa, and brownies, and watermelon, and pita chips with pesto, and broccoli salad). And share fun stories. And entertain kids, er, okay, well, be entertained by them. Somehow, all the above helps me feel like I'm not getting so old afterall...well, at least for one evening. :-)

i like you. you are good. really, you are.
happy birthday.
love you tons.
The last time we were camping, i ran into a group of older or should i say, more mature adults. i began to ask them how they all came to know one another. They said they all met at church many years back. They spent a lot of time with each other since then, but hadn't done this camping thing in a while, which use to be a tradition. So they decided to get together again.
i was thinking Monday night how we're beginning to form something like that. It's a good thing to share lives together. We all act as sort of a witness and a testiment for another.
thanks friends! u really bring richness to my life!!
regarding mon nights, white rabbit, i think we've been really blessed to have the commitment and largely regular attendance from so many great people. I mean, yes, we've had to have a few conversations challenging people about priorities, but for the most part, people show up. it says a lot about you guys and your hospitality. it says something about our desire for community and commitment to relationships. And well, maybe the good food we usually put out helps, too. I know i'll be blessed if it continues for a while yet and hope God continues to show us how to walk our journeys together in ways that please Him and grow each other.
