Some weeks it is so hard to come up with a list of blessings. Other weeks like this week, it is much easier!

(1) Making and decorating the wooden spoon traveling trophies for the FLC chili cook off.

(2) Getting to spend time with old and new friends alike; such a blessing to my soul.

(3) Hearing my friends little one make wonderful baby noises

(4) Finding out a friend and her family are on the same flight to Msp with me.

(5) Touring the St Louis Basilica with friends—stunningly gorgeous

(6) Blessed holy conversations with so many great people

(7) An open seat on my flight home so I got to move up and have more leg room

(8) Reuniting (if for a brief time) with seminary classmates

(9) Blessing colleagues as part of closing worship at the E and getting to bless dear friends! I can’t even begin to explain what a holy experience it was!!
