Small Group

Joined a small group and we had our first meeting last night.  It's restaurant week so we all went out to eat.  Any group that starts with food is a good group.  :)

Indianapolis

Before I get to Columbus, I'm spending a few days in Indianapolis with my friends Alicia and Josh who were so kind to offer their guest room to me for a few days.  Both of them are very sick, but still wanted to show me around their beautiful city.  I took pictures! This is just outside of their house looking down the street.  It's so idyllic here! The original plan was to build a canal all the way through the state to connect the great lake with the Ohio River.  They only finished eight miles, but now they have this cool canal running through downtown. In the summer this plaza is filled with festivals and markets and people. There were plans to have an eternal flame statue, but when the city calculated how much fuel that would need to keep burning, they decided on this instead. The arts garden is suspended above one of the intersections downtown.  Each window has a view of the street below. I loved these art pieces.  I w...

One week

It's been a week since I last posted.  I'm starting to get into the routine of things over here and developing some friendships.  Last Thursday there was a guys night board game night.  We played Betrayal at House on the Hill.  If you're looking for a spooky time, this game is great.  You wander around a house until some event triggers 'the haunt'.  Then one person randomly becomes the bad guy and you have to try and survive/win.  After a couple games of that we switched to Exploding Kittens which is also really fun. Saturday, Tim and I walked around the city in what was one of the first days where it was warm enough to actually be outside.  Pictures are up on Facebook.  Then Saturday night was a birthday party at a gourmet pizza place.  There was some confusion with the reservation so we weren't seated for an hour, but they gave us 10 bucks off of each of our pizzas.  For a party of 16 that's a good amount.  :)  The ...

Missed Opportunity

I remember back when I was in high school and trying to decide where to go to college.  I was pretty set on Westmont, and didn't even apply to other schools.  Then one day I got a call from a recruiter.  They wanted me to come to their school on the east coast and learn to be a nuclear physicist.  I didn't want to be a nuclear physicist or go to the east coast so I turned them down.  I loved my time at Westmont and I believe I made the right choice, but I sometimes wonder how my life would be different if I had said yes. That brings us to the story of the rich young ruler in  Matthew 19:16-30 . The words and deeds of Jesus had been getting around and this man approached Jesus with a few questions he had.  He considered himself a pretty good person and wondered what else he could be doing.  Jesus told him what He tells lots of people.  "Follow Me."  More specifically, He told him to sell all his things and then follow Jesus.  Th...
