Gearing up for Summer...

So its been a couple weeks since i blogged and the last one was about our fun hit and run experience. Well we've been rocking a rented pt cruiser for the last few weeks and we are supposed to get our car back this week which will be nice cause it gets like 10 miles more to the gallon than the cruiser. And since friday kendra jonas and i are leaving phoenix to head to ENCOUNTER, the added fuel economy is a bonus. Lets see what to update you on, first off Jonas will be 7 months old tomorrow and hes awesome. he's sitting up and saying blah blah blah alot he can crawl in reverse hasnt figured out how to go forward yet. I cant wait for encounter i've been thinking and eagerly anticipating it since last summer. then the next weekend ill be back in lubbock for my buddies wedding. should be a blast... i mean come on we are getting the band back together and everything, and enjoying the spiritual discipline of celebration. i need to go now cause i have a ton to do before friday, but i want to leave you with this... a couple of weeks ago i went to a seminar at Bethel Seminary in san diego entitled "henri nouwen: reflections for therapists on health and hospitality" first off it was awesome it, most of you know i love henri's books this seminar was presented by a guy who had been a teaching fellow of henris at harvard. he took us thru henris book lifesigns which i hadnt read before and is well worth the read. but he gave us this quote from henri that has stuck with me and now i want to share it with you. "If John wrote so that you may believe, I have to teach in the same way." i thought this was brilliant in its simplicity.
