Having a good time with good people here in Lexington. We ate dinner last night, prayed the evening prayer together and had a good start to sharing our stories with each other. As always, something like that is both encouraging and enlightening. You always hear part of your own story in the stories of others. In a case like this, with a subject matter so specific, it's often more so.
Great group of people here. We just ate dinner so I'm digesting. It's hard to think at the moment - fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and cornbread. Oh my. Anyway, great discussion, good times of encouragement for all involved, friendships being forged. Good stuff. As you can see, I'm taking pictures as we go. I created a flickr set for them - check them out here. That's all I got at the moment. It's an internet cafe in here right now, pretty funny. Pax vobiscum.

completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
