So…we had our annual Christmas party last night.  As usual, it was a white elephant gift exchange. We had the usual junk that always shows up at these things. Near the end of it all, Lauren opened a gift that Mark brought.  It was small, soft, and wrapped in construction paper. She slowly opened it to reveal a three week old turkey sandwich that Mark found in his car!

Are you kidding me?!? That’s got to be the work white elephant gift ever.
Anyway, we had a good time and I came away with some “Believe in God” Breath Spray.

On Sunday after worship, we decorated the PSC. Hayley made cider and we had a fire in the fireplace. We got out all of the old decorations but we couldn’t find the tree. I thought that we had an artificial tree because I had see artificial tree branches. Turns out that we only had branches. The students got creative with a cardboard tube and some garland and we ended up with the funniest tree you’ve ever seen. But it’s our tree and we love it.


Last weekend, we went to Cherokee Retreat Center on Lake Alatoona for our fall retreat. We spent time relaxing, engaging in ancient spiritual practices, and (of course) watching the UGA v. Kentucky game. The weather was beautiful and the leaves were amazing. We had the whole camp to ourselves, so that was cool.

One thing that we did that I particularly enjoyed was a time of Lectio Divina in which we did some painting with oil on canvas. I’m still waiting on my painting to dry, but I’m happy with how it turned out.

There was also a great Prayer Labyrinth there. We did that together on Sunday morning.
