Well, as some of you know I have the extraordinary priviledge of journeying through life with a home group that only God could have put together! We have gone through lots, and lots, and lots of changes since this time last year.
Two babies have been added to our midst, members have moved, marriages have struggled and been strengthened, moving plans have been in place and then halted, time in the hospital, tough decisions had to be made about church homes, church leadership, and where to worship, job interviews took place, cars were paid off, cars were purchased, and cars were hit.....overall, life was lived together. I don't know how many, but I am sure that we have spent more than forty Friday nights together since this time last year.
And on each of those forty plus Friday nights, bread was broken.
We eat well at least once a week....
Which brings me to reason #2!
Every Friday in March, we are having special birthday month dinners! Tonight was quite yummy...all new editions! I think they were all well received.....
Special birthday month dinners with my favorite dinner party friends! Love you guys.....

Hey! I too really value and thoroughly enjoy our Friday night community. I also agree- the food was great yesterday!
That having been said...there is no way you wrote this at 8:55 pm! Cheater. :-) I know because we were sitting around discussing yoga's relevance to 1Corinthians about that time...
Still I like the idea to post "every day-ISH".
Now listen Miz Lisa....I did actually post this entry on Friday....I didn't realize my time zone was incorrect all this time, but it has now been changed. The accurate times are reflected! Sheesh! But, that doesn't mean that it might not turn into "every day-ISH!"
Can you believe how much has happened over the past year? As I started that I was overwhelmed thinking about all the change God has brought about in our lives and friendships over the past 12 months or so....
I totally agree-- so much has happened, and its just amazing how we are really like a family.
Also, I wanted to add among the "car" incidents: one of our cars caught on fire.
Hey, that was my car! I had completely forgotten. My goodness, we should appoint an official group historian or something. Has anything major happened yet this year?
I'm just glad there are people who love us enough to put up with our crazy birthday shenanigans...although they do get to reap the benefits too... :)
I too, had completely forgotten about the car fire! Good work Lisa! You are now the group historian, oh, and could you start taking some photos too!
ber, I don't know if I have ever seen shenanigans spelled! That, my dear friend, is why I don't like word games!
Love you guys...
