Donovan and Jocelyn, enthusiastically joined by her sister, Ruby, and also attended by grandparents Verna and Bill Weber, good friends who moved away to Indianapolis more than a year ago.
Jocelyn had a wonderful supper featuring a new recipe for vegetable soup with homemade croutons, and the birthday cake was a tower of mini cupcakes adorned with candles and topped with the number announcing Nora's age.
It was great to reconnect with the Webers. We hadn't talked with Donovan and Jocelyn since they brought the girls to our house for dinner and trick-or-treating 'way back in October. He was anticipating a new ministry then and is settling into that ministry nicely now. And Jocelyn is serving in a new position, a counseling job at Oak Hills High School as part of a program sponsored by Children's Hospital, where she's been employed for some time.
I can't even remember when we saw the senior Webers last--sometime last fall, before the holidays. Bill just returned from an extended trip to Myanmar, accompanied by his grandson Noel Brooks, and it was great to hear about the trip as well as just generally catch up in our fine evening together.

Quote of the Day:
"God's first word in his command to Abram was 'go.' And Jesus' last word in his command to his followers was 'go.' "
—Trevor DeVage in this morning's sermon at Christ's Church at Mason
Makes you think God wants us to GO, doesn't it?
