Today is the first regular day back to work for lots of folks around town - including the college students I get to work with. I'm looking forward to hanging out with them again tonight. We actually have a team of college folk from Tennessee this week, which is cool. They spent the chilly, soggy morning handing out free hot chocolate to UW students.
I am definitely anxious to settle back into a normal pace of life. One of the cool things about this is that we're going to be taking our little home based community of faith into a more structured and active direction. The way we spend time together, the ways we create an incarnational presence in our community, and hopefully the number of people involved will grow in the weeks and months to come. We were joking with each other that we needed to find a way of acquiring the house at the end of our block that was up sale, in order to grow. It sold to someone else already, but clearly, there's a new opportunity there for us to develop relationships.
The timing is working out very nicely in one sense - the book that
Charlie Wear bought for me,
Organic Church, arrived and I've started reading it. So far, so good. Thanks Charlie.
