1. Sunday brunch with good friends this morning at Laura and Julie's place. Our friend, Jenna, moved back to Reading, PA (about 2 hours away) last September for graduate school and she was in Philly for the day. Laura had invited a group of us to head to hers and Julie's place for brunch after church so we could catch up with Jenna. There were seven of us seated around Laura and Julie's dining room table, eating this amazing brunch that Laura cooked for us. As we were sitting around the table, laughing and sharing crazy stories of dates we've been on, I was struck with this incredible feeling of thankfulness. As I looked around the table at each of these women, I must say that I am so incredibly blessed to have these wonderful friendships and to have them walk alongside me in this journey called life.
2. Watching Georgie running maniacally around the dog park earlier this afernoon and secretly amused that she can outrun most of the dogs chasing her. That's my girl!!! :D
3. Winning 3rd place on Eddo's trivia game on his blog. I was hoping for first place, which was a $100 dollar gift card to Best Buy, a $50 dollar gift card to iTunes, and a $50 dollar gift card to Target (total of $200!!!). I was blowing up his blog with senseless comments so I could win. I came in 3rd, which is a $25 gift card from Starbucks. Am I complaining? Not in the least. I am happy that I can load up on $25 worth of legalized stimulants! :D
4. While I am not a huge fan of snow, especially in the city where it ends up turning into this ugly grayish/black slush, I am currently enjoying watching the snow fall outside. Maybe we'll get a snow day tomorrow!
5. Serving communion at my church's morning worship service. Unlike most churches, my church, Liberti, serves communion every week as opposed to serving it on the first Sunday of every month. I love the fact that Liberti serves communion every week because I believe that we continually need to remember Christ's sacrifice for us and that it is an integral part of worship.

I love these posts lately, J! It's important to remember those little sparks of the divine in our everyday life. And I like the idea of communion every week. For me, it is a reminder that God is present in the gathered community, and we are blessed.
Really miss hanging out with you, and seeing you! :(
Joy, I'll have to send you something bonus and fun for all the great comments. But... I need your trivia answers and your mailing address! Thanks again for playing and for being one of my long-time readers and online friends!
Thanks Amy! It's been so long and I also miss hanging out with you! We need to hang out one of these days when life isn't so crazy!!
