A small group that eats (and prays) together stays together

This semester the schedules got so crazy for each couple in our small group from church that we had to set a different day of the week to meet every two weeks. Today was a first - Saturday brunch at the Schmidt's! We broke out the china for the occasion and devoured the

whole wheat raisin cinnamon rolls
berrylicious fruit salsa with cinnamon tortilla chips
cheesy vegetable quiche
pineapple and cranberry juice
and a pot of coffee.
Right now we're reading through a book called "What the Bible says about Healthy Living". As a group, we're taking steps to live healthier lifestyles, eat food that God created to be food, and eat it as close to how God created it as possible. It's a journey, not something that can happen overnight. Does that mean we stop enjoying our food and celebrating life together? No way! We enjoy it all the more.

I love this! Even though I already knew most of it, I enjoyed reading it. Maybe when you have time you would help me set one up? Mert and I are still sick....maybe a tiny bit better but not much...this is a tough bug. This morning at 7:30am we watched "Out break", an old movie about an epidemic.....might not have been the best choice given our condition! Love you - Mom

Yes, we are so grateful you and Darrel are joining us for the journey. Eating, cooking, praying and supporting each other is what it's all about on this journey...
