Tim is reading (out loud) a poem from the 1st century about Passover called "The Mystery of the Pascha" ...translating it from Greek as he goes.

Jason is catching up on news about last night's presidential debate.

Israel is sleeping, per usual, on the dog bed Kate made him.

We spent this morning with Sara Rose (Vruggink), eating french toast, drinking coffee, and chatting about peace issues after reading aloud from Jesus for President.

Thursday night was "Girls' Night" with Kate and Holly... we spent it goofing off, eating ice cream, doing mud-masks, and "hashing" through some ideas and concerns we've encountered.

Yesterday I came home from work to a basement full of people playing music and praising God. Israel and I listened from the living room while I continued to read The Count of Monte Cristo.

I feel actively loved in this place, challenged daily, and at a place of rest and wrestling with my Creator.

Reading Brooke's blog started some conversation with the women in this house and I've come to the realization that I feel very much like a sister, mother, daughter, wife, and friend in this house of my Jesus-following peers. How could I ask for more?

Billy Joel is playing through Charlie's speakers, singing about Captain Jack.

Tomorrow is our first potluck! I'm pretty excited... the turn out looks like it will be pretty incredible. According to the facebook invitation alone, we have close to 50 people coming. That doesn't include family or neighbours, so I'm sure it will be an eventful evening. God has provided so much for us already that I have to remember not to worry that we won't have enough food.

Bob Dylan has taken over for Billy Joel.

If you enjoy bagels, let me know. We're getting roughly an entire trash-bag worth of bagels twice a week for free and we definitely can't eat them all. Also, any suggestions for easy/cheap/reusable bags that we can put the bagels in each time? We're running out.

Ben Harper jumped in to tell me he is a God Fearing Man.

I am very seriously considering joining the Orthodox church that I have been attending for the past few months, yet I want to walk my way through the core beliefs of the church some more first. I've been attending an Inquirer's class as well as the adult Bible study they offer at St. George's and I can't get enough of them.

We'll see how that turns out. Time for work!
