We had another great house church gathering tonight. Seems to really be clicking the past two weeks. Tonight we had a bounty of a meal, lots of good laughs, reflective time with music and communion, and once again a recorded story of Jesus took on a totally new meaning. Tonight we dug into the story of Zacheus (sp?) and his famous tree-climbing venture to see Jesus. Toward the end of the night the conversation turned to spiritual gifts, a la the post I had the other day about that topic. These are very interesting days – I have a very abundant life!
I have so much work to do with my business. The projects have really piled up lately, to the point where I think I am going to hunt for a freelancer or two I can work with and possibly hire. Doing this, being a business owner, is such a gift – I work every day with the sense of “someone pinch me!” because it’s amazing that it’s actually happening.
It’s sort of like when I met Andrea, my wife. Seven years ago today (4/20/01) I met her in a Yahoo! chat room for christian singles (*blush*ashamed*). It’s been a good journey. When I met her and soon realized she would be my partner for life, I went through a similar phase where I asked myself: What do you do when what you have been longing for actually happens? Same thing happened when Garrett came along. Now it’s the business. I have a sense of what the next thing will be…
Speaking of Garrett, he’s pretty much sitting up nearly unassisted. He can’t raise him self just yet, but he’s added sitting up to his arsenal of preferred postures. My folks get to spend a few days with him this week. Last time they saw him in-person he was 2 weeks old! Boy, are they in for a treat. He’s a really happy baby. Sleeps for around 12 hours every night now, 10-10, but rarely naps for longer than an hour, if that, throughout the day.
One thing he does that cracks me up is that when I’m changing his diaper, he stiffens his legs and seems to push and grunt! It’s especially alarming when we’re on the lookout for a poop. He’s been irregular lately, and the grunting when he’s in full-glory is a lesson in expediency. Part of me thinks that he is the one whom is entertained.
Better get back to work…
