upgrading the office and fun with teens

As you can see, I have furniture in my office. Well, I've had bookshelves and a desk for a while, but until last week I was getting by with chairs I found by the side of the road. They were both workable and fine, but not necessarliy inviting or cosy. I'm enjoying working in my new chair and putting my feet up on the couch as I read. We've had the offices six months now and it has been great for our church. Not only do we have a place for Al and I to come and work during the week, but we're using the space for all sorts of other gatherings. God has given us a wonderful space.
Picture number two is from Friday night when we had teens over after serving at the Hartford Rescue Mission. We go there about every other month and serve meals to folks in need. Our church has a neat relationship with the director and it is great to have the teens invovled. Most of our group that evening were Jr. High students and without the influence of the older teens, they can tend to be a little wacky. They were having fun fighting over the giant blue ball, playing with plungers (unused ones), and just being silly together.
