Philip Gulley-Last week, our neighbors had their annual hog roast and our family went, as has been our custom since we first moved to Danville.  The neighbors have a camper.  A rite of passage for the teenage boys was to spend the night of the hog roast in the camper, so this year we told Spencer he could do that.  When Spencer came home the next morning, I asked him what they'd done.  He said they talked around the campfire until midnight then did a few more things, went to sleep, then woke up around eight o'clock.  It was the phrase, “then did a few more things,” that caught my attention, because I’ve learned the activities that don't get elaborated upon are the most interesting.  I'm still trying to figure out the few more things they did.

Jim Mulholland-Sometimes I love open worship and sometimes I despise it. This past Sunday was the latter. A group of us were sitting in worship at Fairfield Meeting. Phil had greeted us at the door. People had been warm and welcoming. The sermon had been funny and insightful. It had been a pleasant morning.

Jim Mulholland-Last week, our family gathered in Michigan for the annual Mulholland reunion.  It’s a week of canoeing, swimming at the beach, playing cards, sitting around the campfire, eating too much food and reminiscing.  I've attended the reunion 43 times in my 47 years.  When I drive through the tunnel of trees leading to our cabins, it's entering a cathedral.  I get the shivers.  I feel religious.
