We celebrated together tonight, our life group did. Some seriously good munchies, a fun “white elephant” gift exchange, and loads of good conversations. It feels like forever since Kim and I have been part of our lifegroup. Have I mentioned that it’s OUR lifegroup? We’re the leaders, but since we headed to China, we’ve pretty much been MIA. No worries, though, since the group is made of some incredible people. Tonight was a good chance for us to catch up.
We got to see Pete and Amber’s baby girl, 2 months old and beautiful, with the wispiest red hair you ever saw. Pete and Amber are doing their part to keep the “ginger gene” in circulation. Kerry and Geeta (and son Ravi) were there, just days after Kerry had neck/brain surgery. He’s going to be sharing his story soon. You should see the staples holding his incision together!
Some of the folks were absent tonight. Teachers who are trying to finish the semester strong, and students who are kicking it into finals-gear. We missed you guys…
I made out like a bandit in the gift exchange. I brought home 3 pounds of fresh hamburger, straight off the farm. Rocco snagged the picture of the Youghiogheny River that I had my eyes on, only to present it to me when the gift stealing was all over. He’s a prince. The pic is hanging in my office. Nice shot, Kevin/Amy.
I love our lifegroup. It’s a wonderfully diverse group of people, with varied backgrounds and interests. Jesus is the common denominator, and it’s been fun hearing how people are growing in their faith and looking to Jesus to be their Hope.
If you’re not in a lifegroup, you’re missing the meat and potatoes of life. We’d love to have you join us. And don’t worry about missing the Christmas party; there’s more where that came from!
