I know I promised Dan would be the next to write... but he's taking his usual afternoon nap... so I thought I would sit down a write. I have about five minutes before my cornbread comes out of the oven (there's just nothing like smelling your mom's cornbread in the kitchen several thousand miles from home).
We are heading out to Bible Study in about an hour. Our church has small groups that you are assigned to geographically. That way you can really focus on meeting the same people in your community. We love it because we can walk since the leaders live just two blocks from us! Being so close to everything reminds me so much of Chico! We share a car... which can be a pain sometimes... but it forces me to walk to the 1/2 mile work every day (with our cats George and Eddie who have started following me about half the way there).
There is also a small park two blocks away that has bands playing once a month. You can actually see the Arch from this park... since we live on one of the higher parts of the very flat city of St. Louis. We're going to walk down for a couple minutes tonight to hear the last group of the summer play... unfortunatley it really does still feel like summer here.
Anyways... I was in the kitchen cooking and I could hear the band playing just now... so I thought I would just mention how great it is to be living in such a great part of St. Louis!
Dan really will be the next to write!

I love community. John and I are still trying to establish our Portland community. We live 2 blocks from almost everything we need, food, coffee, books, beer, hair cuts, clothes, gardens, and, well not from a church. We are still looking for a church, but hope to find one soon. I liked hearing about your community.
It's officially Fall in Portland. It has rained for a week straight I think (not always raining, but drizzle, sun, rain, clouds...drizzle, sun, rain, clouds...). I really like it here.
