The most ordinary moments in 2010 center around friendships.
I remember:
coffee with friends in front of fireplaces sipping lattes or mochas at Friedrichs, Cafe Diem, Amici Espresso, Smokey Row;
gulping water or Gatorade after a Monday evening run with friends from Capital Striders, sitting on a picnic table watching the sun go down and getting eaten by mosquitoes, but not caring too much either, slurping a popsicle after the Midnight Madness run, sweating off the heat and humidity;
getting a phone call from a friend after I had just prayed; now that seems fairly extraordinary
eating blueberry pie, Dutch letters, or walking to Snookies malt shop for ice cream with my small group on Thursday evenings;
What I remember about 2010 is having a lot of pleasant surprises. I'd like to live my 2011 with a lot more surprises and a lot of joy.
Joyful because it's about connecting from the heart with people who have heart.
God, I am filled with joy because of you, and I sing your praises. Psalm 9:2
Seize the J
