This weekend's activities focused around community. The community of the male members of our church spent two days and a night together on a retreat. I haven't heard all of the stories yet, but there is one floating around about a certain pastor and a young child and several rounds of a paintball gun...Troy and I took part in a community event showing support for an orphanage in Africa. I helped with registration and Troy ran his first 5K, and came in 5th overall! I was totally shocked, but not totally surprised. This kid has the gift of determination ...and 0% body fat! :) (By the way, Troy did NOT get beat by the girl in the picture.) Kam took part in a tournament in Ontario with her middle school varsity volleyball community. They had moments of success, but were lacking in determination to finish. At the end of the day they came in fourth. Kamryn played well and didn't stay mad too long after it was all over. Troy and I enjoyed cheering her on and chatting with people and finding other 9 year old boys to run around with. It was a good day of participating in the communities God has placed us in. We're thankful, too, that Katie continues to enjoy and flourish in her college community...Now it's time to rest!

I cannot let these great images and text go by without saying how neat to see Kam and Troy in action, and hear about their parents in support. Kam, your right hand was way over the net! Troy, way to race! Finishing in the top five of a 5k is terrific, and so much better than coming in 115th. Love you all. B and G R
