A fire pit.
Mine looks a little less like R2-D2, and a little more like a terra cotta flower pot, but the principle is the same.
It was fabulous. We drank, ate, make s'mores, some of us almost fell out of the hammock. Perfect night for a fire. And much more responsible than our last attempts at fire which you'll remember ended with an empty bottle of lighter fluid, a charred champagne cork, and a stained patio. So this night of burning things, was much more advanced, and safe, much to the delight of my insurance man, I'm sure.
Later we also played a stirring round of my new favorite game "buzz word". I highly recommend it. Woo Hoo.
Then church was really good today, I spoke up front for the first time and I like doing that. Scott talked about our desire for justice and how that is both a good desire, yet that vengance is not something to be taken into our own hands. Scott is great at presenting a balanced view of the issues of scripture and the pit falls of swaying too far to one side. I used to hate the word "balance" as it refers to Christianity, as if it were a tightrope that we would fall off of if we strayed to either side, but now I like the word more, and see balance as a safe place to stand.
Later, I had a market fresh sandwich from Arby's.
Mmm.

I suck for missing the gathering. I wanted to stash food somewhere where you'd have real fun finding it. I was out of town for a conference, and got back super-late Saturday night.
Thanks for thinking of me though.
A fire pit!
Soooo jealous.
