    How to get more passion in your life
    by Lisa-Jo Baker I remember exactly where I was when I fell in love with Peter. When I knew he was the man I would marry. I was walking under the cherry blossoms on D street across from the US Capitol. I thought I would throw up with the weight of it. This responsibility of knowing youre going to commit your life, your zip code, your culture, your body and your dreams to someone else. For better or worse. Weve lived our share of worse. I ate romance novels like so much chocolate when I was sixteen. I believed in happy endings that looked like desperate dashes through airports to declare undying love. But in real life it has been my experience that love goes out for milk in between bouts of a snow storm. After it has shoveled the driveway. Or picks up a pair of socks off the floor every single morning even after fifteen years of gesticulating wildly at laundry baskets. But love. It does run. It will run. Oh how it runs. This daring verb that is so much more than a date on the calendar. Love runs into danger. Love runs for the forgotten. Love runs from itself. Love runs beyond what it thought it could endure. Love runs away from measuring sticks and toward partnership. Love runs. It never races. Love runs at your pace. Love runs for the winsome joy of bearing witness, of celebrating, of delighting in the dance of dishes and laundry and a hundred, hundred glasses of water after lights out. Love singles out the lonely and is not embarrassed to be friends with the forgotten. Love doesnt keep score of cool. Love finds hope in trash heaps and new beginnings at the bottom of dumpsters. Love runs round after round of milk at midnight baby after baby, year after year. Even when people whisper and wonder why youve decided to add yet another kid to your family. Love runs toward children with arms wide open. Love runs and rides back roads after prodigals. Love runs even when all it can do is limp. I remember exactly where I was when I fell in love with the Maubane community. I was sitting on the cement stoop outside Ma Margarets house, shirt stuck to my sweaty back and tiny Rodney on my lap. We threw a Christmas party in 100 degree weather and Rodneys packet of chocolates had melted along with my heart. And I remember where I was when God started working on my heart to see my blog like a door and myself the door holder who gets to invite people into this remarkable story. continued on page 2

    How to get more...


    continued from page 1 And I remember where I was when I found out how much it would cost for one blog community to build one South African community a safe place for sustainable food, child care, economic empowerment, job skills trainings, a gathering place for church, classrooms for HIV/Aids education, and a playground for their kids. I was sitting in the red plastic booth at a Wimpy restaurant in Pretoria, South Africa when I did the math and thought I would throw up at the $150,000 price tag. But love. Love runs. Love runs faster than fear. Love runs toward hopelessness. Love runs past doubt. Love runs the race wild and true and on shaking, determined knees. Love runs to its friends and invites them in. Love sees everyone as family and every day a start of something beautiful. Love runs through doors even where there arent supposed to be any. This is my family. You are my friends. Here is the door. Im holding it open, run through and fall in love.

    HUMOUR
    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD A Sunday school teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldnt remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, The Lord is my Shepherd, and thats all I need to know.

    COMMUNION

    We do communion on the first Sunday of each month. We are looking for volunteers to offer a meditation and lead us through that part of the service. Please see Tom if interested to be added to a schedule.
