*I meant to note this milestone yesterday. My post on Monday was my 6,600th entry on this blog, reaching back to October, 2006.
1. It was my job today to spiff things up around the house. Debbie and I hosted family dinner.
Things were in pretty good shape and Debbie made dinner preparation very easy for us: some time ago she prepared pans of chicken enchilada casserole, so we thawed one out for today and all I had to do was heat it up.
2. Dinner was very simple. I mixed margaritas using a store bought mix. Christy brought tortilla chips and salsa and guacamole. Carol made a Mexican cabbage salad -- I think she invented it! And we dove into the casserole.
It all worked really well.
3. Our conversation tonight took a fascinating turn when Carol told us about reading Thomas Moore's book Care for the Soul and read a passage to us about what a dead end revenge is, especially in contrast to love, written by Richard Rohr. Paul is reading Wendell Berry's novel, Jayber Crow and his thoughts about that book took us into stimulating directions about all sorts of subjects, most of them related to how we understand living a Christian life.
