Exec Fun

Today has been a good day for a number of reasons. Church was excellent, a clear and challenging sermon from Dave, had some really good Chilli made by one KC Clark, got to spend some time at the pub with an old friend, and went to a party to say goodbye to someone from church who's heading off to serve with OM for two years.

However the highlight was (and apologies to all of the above) our exec reunion meal. It was one of those times which felt really blessed by God. The joy of seeing old friends, catching up on news, joking, reminiscing, it was superb. They are a truly remarkable bunch of people, and the year we spent together on committee remains one of my most positive memories. I think the most exciting thing though was that now, nearly 3 years after we finished on committee, we remain good friends, and we can reflect on how God has worked faithfully in each of our lives since then. Also, that we can be together for the first time for 6 months and yet there is total relaxation when I'm with them, it feels like we've never been apart. It makes me want to jump up and down and praise God for his faithfulness, and his provision of friends.

On a slightly more scary note, 4 out of the 8 of us are now either engaged or married. It's now a critical time. If only one more of us fails to take Paul's advice, then the singlies will suddenly be in the minority. On that day, I will feel old.
