This past week was Hillary's birthday and we had a fun time celebrating. The picture on the left shows us at Rocky Neck State Park which is near Old Lyme, CT. We stayed at a B&B in Old Lyme, visited some art galaries, ate ice cream, bought used books, went out to dinner and enjoyed spending time together. The Old Lyme - Old Saybrook area is down on the coast of CT and has some beautiful homes and neat things to do, but it is much smaller than we thought. We sort of ran out of things to do, so we came back and did some gardening in our yard. After celebrating Hillary's birthday, I also had the opportunity to go camping with some friends Friday to Saturday. Jim, a close friend from college, is getting married in two weeks. For his bachelor party six of us met in the Poconos (mountains in PA) and had a great time hiking, cooking, haning out, and just being outside - despite the blase weather.
A third thing, which has been enjoyable is teaching on the attributes of God. Sunday mornings I have about 45 mins with the teens to try to describe realities like God's asceity, omnipotence, omnscience, immutablity, and goodness. These aren't topics I normally get to reflect on, and it has been stimulating (intellectually and for my faith) to further consider who God is.
