Sun. Aug. 29th
Happy anniversary to us! We have been married for twelve years. My present to Rob? I brought our Garlic Press from home because he had commented in a moment when he didn’t think I was listening that the hardest part of packing up your home and selling everything were the little things. “I don’t want to get rid of my Garlic Press, I love this Garlic Press.”
So I brought it for him.
Speaking of Garlic, I thought I would share about the lack of it at Taize. To feed literally thousands of people on a daily basis the food has to be simple. Here is what a typical daily menu looks like:
8:15 Prayer
9:00 Breakfast- Bun, 2 chocolates, 1 butter, 1 Bowl with hot chocolate in it.
10:00 Discussion Group (Kids Group)
12:20 Prayer
1:00 Lunch- Bowl and Spoon and Plate, Bun, soft cheese, ham, mashed potatoes, apple, biscuits, water.
2:00-5:00 choir practice, work groups, free time
5:15 Tea- Bowl, tea, sugar, cookie
5:45 Group Time/ Kids drama
7:00 Supper- Bowl and spoon and plate, bun, butter, pasta with tomato sauce, plum, cookie, iced tea
8:30 Prayer
A world adventure with kids? Why not? For the first time in a long time we have no greater obligations than our family. Our kids can be carried, changed on the grass, happy with a stick as a toy, so we are selling our house, free ourselves of clutter and OFF WE GO!
The plan? To learn what it means to be on an adventure with God. Sharing ideas on helping people launch their own adventure and hopefully in some way using our skills to bring justice and mercy to those in need.
