Last time & this time

Sorry it has been so long...
We had a fabulous time last time we met, almost 2wks ago - we enjoyed the amazingnes of God as we obsevred the growth of beans - basically, i just planted beans about every other day for about 3wks and brought the little plants in. We then appreciated how cool it is that all the wonderful plants around us grow...seed, seedling, plant, then more seeds...It is amazing to see, all around us, the wonder of ongoing creation - i would suggest that you notice God in the world around you today and celebrate his bigness.

We then shared concerns confidentially - it was really good, as always. Over these 2 wks we invite God to help andjoin us in the middle of our problems and this make a huge difference.

Finally, we shared some time telling stories about how we have begun to make the change from going after all the stuff most people go after to going after God - it was really interesting to hear the stories of different people who have found help in changing their lives in many different ways - including, giving to others, in nature, in reading, in relationships (healthy ones) and on and on. It can be done, this changing over to a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and worthwhile, it is just harder than you might expect


This week - actually tomorrow, we will be having one of our community outreach nights - we will be going to David Kniola's house - This is a great guy who this last winter had some terrible medical luck and ended up only able to walk (after a great deal of work) with a walker - this is totally not his style and he usually has tons of plants around his house, but he cannot do it because of his problems with walking. so, we are going to meet at his house - 951 S. 750 E Lafayette, at 6:30 PM tomorrow and help him do up his yard (which he says is usually called organized chaos). He tells me he has everything we need - but you could probably bring some gardening tools and let's all plan to have tons of fun! He is so excited to hang out with everyone and just enjoy some company!

In 2 weeks, we will be back at McAllister - and will have a great time there - but we will be starting right at 6:45, because McAllister is on their summer hours then! Still, please come whatever time you can make it!!

We will be thrilled to have you!!!
