Visiting family in Oregon was great medicine, especially for Julie. We ate fresh meals from the garden, drank homemade grape juice, indulged in desserts and gained 10 pounds in three days. I think Gloria gets her feelings hurt if you're able to button up your pants when you leave.
We also had a chance to join my friend and colleague, Bill Putman from our church, to come along side the people in leadership at Julie's parents church. They individually and collectively went through an assessment to see how far God has brought them, find out where they stand at this point, and will begin to make a plan of where they want to go next together. I am both humbled and tickled to be part of their process. So, I'll try hard not to screw it up.
LJ, the best assistant in the world, and her husband, Charlie, came over tonight to teach me how to prepare "Spoonburgers" (sort of a sloppy Joe's type meal). If you are ever in a situation where someone says to you "if there's anything we can do to help," ask them to show you how to cook a meal, then stick around to feast and have fellowship. That is the best kind of favor you can do for someone. I just love those guys and the experience we shared. And LJ got me a man apron to boot. How cool is that?
Thanks for praying & caring! Greg

It was sooooooooooooo much fun teaching Greg to create one of his first Americana culinary masterpieces, aka Spoonburgers. He gave me the privilege of being his Sous Chef...Wow! What a quick study Greg is...next he'll be on to the likes of Welsh Rarebit, Yorkshire Pudding, and Baked Alaska (in honor of our next V.P. Sarah)The best part about this gig, was the eating and fellowshipping part. Our next month's fare might be a yummy version of Tuna Tetrazini, as we hear that Julie's dad Ron is feeling lead to share his recent bountiful catch! Charlie and I can hardly wait for our next opportunity for fun, food & fellowship. Greg and Julie, we LOVE you guys, and we REALLY mean it! :) XO CB & LJ
I'm glad to hear that dad caught tuna! Been thinkin' a lot about you guys. We are plugging away at school. Tomorrow is an off Friday. So Ellen and I can breathe. Let's see, favorite reciepes. How about our favorite culinary delite, Tater Tot Cassarole? Mmm. Easy, and always good with ketchup. Sure, there are fancier things to make, but the whole spirit of humble fare brings the idea of home into focus. Hope you are up for a call this weekend!
Love jerry and ellen
