I love today.

- Church: Final choir performance of the spring season--Worthy to be Praised; that's not us, but you get the idea--followed by much-needed-by-me sermon on God's relating to me having nothing to do with how well I follow the rules of religion. (Pastor) Mary Ellen also reveals, awesomely, that she sometimes gets so nervous about ( Read more... )

My parents are visiting this week, off and on, which means my weekend was packed and crazy, but also a lot of fun. Parent hang-out time...woot?

Hell yeah, weekend!

Instead of choosing between all of my weekend-fun possibilities, I decided to do all of them.

I went to community group last night, and I'm glad I did--it was fun. There were maybe 15 people, and the guy who was hosting (in his cute, tiny apartment, with his enormous Golden Retriever puppy) had made everybody breakfast for dinner, and so we all sat around and chatted and tried to keep our pancakes away from the dog. We studied a passage ( Read more... )

This week is...kind of eventful so far? How did THAT happen? It's only Tuesday, and I'm generally boring anyway. Does not compute ( Read more... )

Well, isn't this nice for a Sunday night? A little awards-show gaiety, a little spiced eggplant with peas and yogurt, a little blog action, a little knitting action? I could totally get used to this. I even have Greek yogurt and fresh blackberries (on sale!) for dessert ( Read more... )
