The Sara Adventure

Don't make fun now, but I got hot today, and it's 78 degrees. Cut me some slack though, I'm not used to it! I went for my run and I got overheated. It was slightly overcast, but the sun was still hot and I was wearing all black. Whoo! I only made it about 2.5 miles before I was too hot! For those who have been keeping up with my progress, I ran 10 miles last week, but ran today for the first time this week.

The Lalli's were in town Sun-Wed morning this week , and we did everything there is to do touristy it seems! We went to the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, Navy Pier, an architecture cruise, the Museum of Science and Industry, and then they went to the Sears Tower without me (because I had class). Needless to say I was pooped! I needed a vacation from my vacation. Maybe I'll post some pictures on here later.

Anyway, as always, I'm trying to stay ahead on class work. I'm doing fine, but would like to get ahead before the next group of friends come in town. Jacob and Janet Henry will be here at the end of this month, which is actually very soon! They will be here the last week of my 6 week class online, so I'd like to get all of my work done for it before hand.

My 5 year high school reunion is this Saturday, but I won't be there. Only a few of my good friends are going, so I won't miss out on much. One of my friends said he would take pictures for me, so that's good. Five years... guess I'm startin to get old! ha ha.

Yesterday a bunch of us church planting type folks got together and just day dreamed about our "quest." It was interesting and a lot of great things were said:

"Everybody can pray for the city" -even though we are all in different communities and meeting at different locations.

In regards to huge congregations not always being optimal (that's saying it lightly)- "I just don't know about 5000 people listening to one guy preach... unless it's Jesus."

"My quest is Love."

Those are just the few I wrote down, but everyone participated in this "think tank" as Mark called it, and it was very encouraging.
