seeking to have an inappropriate level of gratitude
- "wake us to be present to you and present to one another." - EMH, liturgy before a purposeful gathering
- gathering as a city group at will and ella's
- "we look to the grace of God and to the sanctifying work of the Spirit to accomplish His purposes in and through us this day. " -EMH, The Hours, Daybreak
- reminder to continue to cultivate a ridiculous amount of gratitude:
- meaningful conversation with a lovely friend at Panda Express
- friends who are ok with me asking hard questions (and who are willing to ask me hard questions)
- the smell of my dad. freshly cut trees with a little bit of machinery...
