Day 38 (10/2 - Fri)

Tonight, to cap off a full week of good but exhausting work, I hosted my Passage freshman group (from Honey Rock) at my place for a party-homemade dinner of rotisserie chickens (the store-bought part) and stuffing and corn and ciabatta bread and some other good fixin's. My recently acquired Honey Rock messenger bag hung off of a living room chair to set the atmosphere.



We had a great time of discussion and fellowship and reconnecting and ultimately being honest with each other. One thing that garnered a lot of discussion was the concept of "Sabbath" and I concluded by challenging them to really take the idea seriously, namely the idea of choosing to set aside time as set-apart for the purpose of spiritual and physical/emotional re-creation. Then we closed with a time of prayer for each other, which was very encouraging, and just plain cool for me to listen to and know that I'm a part of a group of people like this.

Wheaton College (and Honey Rock) does some pretty darn cool things.
