While we attempted to watch the Colts beat the Bills, Ella and Daddy found themselves indulging in the “Wesleyan Hour” this afternoon. Before snoring, Mommy captured these precious moments with the camera.

Tonight, more than twenty of us gathered at the French home for an evening of fellowship and a lot of Papa John’s pizza.

The conversation was great, the food was great, and the fact that we didn’t leave until 11 shocked most of us!

Thanks to everyone who was a part of tonight’s CONNECTION gathering. Stay tuned for the next one…

Today I spent the day up in Syracuse at a seminar by Mark Yaconelli at the Academy at Oakwood.

The seminar was more of a spiritual-renewal retreat and I came away with some great ideas on re-inventing my own spiritual disciplines that I will start implementing in my own life.

Tomorrow I will spend the morning drinking coffee and catching up on some reading at the Tree of Life bookstore in Winona Lake (the old Herald Bookstore) and then I have a lunch meeting with a couple of guys. After lunch we will be taking Ella for her doctor’s appointment and then ready ourselves for the first CONNECTIONS gathering.

CONNECTIONS is a ministry we’re starting at Warsaw Wesleyan for those in their 20’s and 30’s. We’ll be gathering at the home of Shawn & Becky French. CONNECTIONS is a fellowship-based ministry.
