Ed and I are leading/hosting a life group at church. We are going through the book, "Lead Like Jesus" by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges. While the topic & book are interesting as well as convicting, I'm also really enjoying the company of our life group friends more and more each week! Tonight, we had a new family, Curtis and Mandy Cecil. They have 3 kids - who fit in quite perfectly with the brood that runs around in our basement with a babysitter while we do our study upstairs. As I watched our group tonight, it occurred to me that we have connected in the last few weeks and developed and grown together. It takes time, of course, but I loved watching the laughing and silliness that goes on in our group. Each person brings their own form of 'comic relief' - and when you add it all up, it makes for a really fun group. It was nice to see Curtis and Mandy fit right in with the rest of us. Mandy's husband travels alot, she's a stay-at-home mom to her 3 cuties AND...bonus, she homeschools! So, needless to say, I'm looking forward to connecting with her and getting to know her better!
