Rain
Last night we got some rain! It was beautiful to watch. We have been quite dry this harvest season, for instance here are the rain falls for the last two months:
09/15/10 0.24
09/21/10 0.25
09/24/10 0.59
09/25/10 0.10
10/25/10 0.25
Then, it rained last night. I haven't seen how much yet. It continues to drizzle this morning.
I was up on the roof last night cleaning out the gutters from all the leaves. I put them in a bucket on a rope, then dropped the bucket down to Courtney. She put them in a bag... most of the time:) I think the last three buckets ended up on the ground, due to the wind and Courtney "accidently" spilling it... then "accidently" throwing the dumped pile into the air. Which then blew into our neighbors yard:) Sorry, Gary and Deb:)
Enjoying these memories!

AVDS HC
This weekend we were in Hesston, KS for the Anabaptist Vision and Discipleship Series. This years conference was 3-D Jesus; trying to embrace the whole Jesus, rather than just the parts that we like or resonate with. The speakers did a great job of teaching and challenging for growth. The Sunday morning service at Hesston Mennonite Church was a great summary of the weekend by Megan Good. (Go to HMC's media page on their site and scroll down to sermon videos. You may need to hit previous till you find the October 31 service.) The service challenged us to action and created spaces for us to encounter Jesus and be transformed. Here is another article with good summation. Way to go Rachel from Shickley!
One thing I found important to take away, which I will state in a couple different ways:
Balance moral challenge and spiritual transformation.
Balance the horizontal and vertical pieces of the cross.
Balance relationship with others and relationship with Jesus.
Balance ethical learning and opportunities to encounter Jesus.
Here is a friend of mine's blog on another session at AVDS:
