Kickin' it JCA style...

Every Friday night we try and go out to dinner with the kids and all of our friends with kids that one of my friends commonly refers to as "The Rossi Posse". Tonight we tried something new and brought pizza for everyone at the JCA (Jewish Community Center) and ate by the pool. As the night came to a close at a startling 6:45 (because of the Jewish sabboth), I couldn't help but feel a little warm inside...or maybe it was the hot weather. Either way, I felt a true sense of community tonight. A feeling that I feel often now, but used to long for. God has been so faithful in providing such a strong community of believers that I can truly be myslef around. Ironically, we happen to have a lot of fellowship at the JCA, but I almost think that says something. I am not sure what, but surely it is worth something. And yes, while our big night out only lasted an hour and a half, it is worth so much to know that everyone is in the same boat. That all my friends are going straight home to bathe their children and put them to bed. I have never been more blessed, especially as a family to have such great people just AROUND us...surrounding us...supporting us.
