Man-date

A week ago Friday, some of Goose's college friends came to hang out and do some skiing on Mt. Hood. Micah (top left) and Jim (bottom right) drove down from Seattle and Tyler flew up from San Francisco.


It was great that these guys came to us (we don't have many visitors) and that they attended Sunday service at Yamhill, even though none of the three participates in any faith community. It's pretty cool to see some of the different parts of Eric's life come together without any conflict or real tension. His crazy stories from college, his friends on all different paths, his pastoral responsibilities and the eclectic members of Yamhill UMC are all part of who he his. And allowing all those things and people to meet makes for a more integrated life.

And, as always, it is good to have friends who know you over the years and who still put effort into being friends. These are really great guys.
