Busy Weekend

We discovered this Gem while walking back from North Third, a bar in the city we have become fond of for their homemade buffalo wings. Hopefully you recognize it as the famous lamp from "The Christmas Story". Amy and I scarffed no less than two pounds of those suckers! They we're great. When you don't have that much money to spend on going out, when you actually do, it tends to feel outstanding! Our friends Coury and Anne Deeb took the picture. They have been one of the couples we have really connected with since we moved to Philly, and especially since we started going to Liberti about eight months ago. On Saturday morning we woke up and headed over to the Beatty's House: We filled up on what seemed to me to be a Thanksgiving version of breakfast. We had warm croissants, a great quiche, fresh orange juice and coffee, sausage, melon, and great company. Maria and Geoff Beatty happen to also have been our birth class teachers as well (we just recently graduated). The Beatty's also have blogs. Check out Geoff's or Maria's blog by clicking on their name in this sentence. As you can see, God has been unbelievably generous in providing us with such great friends to live with here in Philadelphia. In many respects Amy and I are trying to live a missional life here, and hoping all the time to know a greater love for the city, and a hope for its people in Jesus. Have a good week.
