picnic in the wind and the cold and the park

ok, well finally the election is over! thank goodness. i was so sick of all the stuff and the carry on. my mail box at home was just so full of all this recycling - i gotta tell you that i didn't open most of it but i just 'filed' it in my nice handy green filing cabinet. this really nice man comes along once a fortnight and collects all the filing. i suppose that if i ever want anything i would just ask him and he would bring it back for me... not that i have ever asked for anything back mind you, well not for lots of years now! ;-)
so how was your weekend? we had a picnic afa Church on Sunday night. it was really great - apart from the fact it was about 2 degrees with the wind. I'm just not prepared for all that cold as we head towards summer. but seriously, its just so important to get together and be church not just talk about it. it means so much if we actually take the time to connect, to listen and to laugh together. this is a big theme that i would like to explore some more.
what do others think? how do you see us as a church doing community??what would real community look like for you?
well more on that later...!
