Ann, Thanks.

I got to vacation for three days at my own house. My friend, Ann, came Thursday night and stayed through Sunday afternoon.
We walked and talked and ate and walked and talked and took in Jacob's Dream and talked and walked and ate and rocked in my backyard and talked and watched Little Shop of Horrors and talked and worshipped and talked and ate again and talked and said goodbye. Lucy said it was like us being at the beach without the beach.
My favorite moments happened as we worshipped together. I have always loved singing with Ann....her alto and my soprano...there have been moments when we had to do that alone and others that our voices blended with those that we love and with our children or with our church family or as we lead our church family in worship or as we sang for a wedding or as we sang a silly song about Ladies Against Fanny Floss.
I loved looking Ann in the eye and saying the words....the body of Christ and the blood of Jesus...or as the movie clip used in worship....the peace of God. I loved that it means that we are family and that we will always be related and that we know each other's stories. I love that we have gathered around the table in many places and with many people that are like us and very unlike us.
I love that we have learned about freedom together and that our lives have evolved and moved to deeper places. That we have learned to never incubate fluff.
I love that when we are together there is no pressure...just comfort and companionship.
Can't wait til we get to do it again.
