What’s happening at MSH

In In the House on May 13, 2008 at 5:42 pm

It’s been awhile seen we’ve let you know what is happening around here. So here it is a non-exhaustive update:

  • We’re getting our hands dirty again at the garden. Salad greens are planted, so are the onions, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, beans, peas, basil, broccoli, cauliflower and other goodies.

  • Gabriel went from crawling to running and jumping and occasionally falling
  • Catie have become an astronomy whiz. She is all intrigued by the cosmos. She will take any chance she can get to let you know about her latest findings about nebulae, Kuiper Belt, dwarf planets and other things we adult don’t remember ever learning in school.

  • Tom’s book – The New Conspirators – is finally out and Christine have been very busy gardening as well as working on the MSH Morning and Evening prayer book. They both just got back from Australia where they had the chance to visit Christine’s family and also do some speaking and conspire with other communities.
  • Peter and Anneke are living very interesting times right now, with exciting new developing in their lives. Can’t say much now, but stay tuned for more.
  • Ricci will be launching a new blog in June entitled “The Revolution Starts at Home“. It will be a space for opening a discussion about how, as followers of Jesus, we can reclaim those areas of our lives, by many viewed as boring and dull, to be sacred and take small steps each day to bring them back into the spiritual realm of our lives; or better yet, expand the spiritual to leave nothing out!
  • EliacĂ­n will appear in the next issue of Sojourners Magazine as 1 of the 10 Young Christian Leaders to watch.
  • Recently we’ve hosted a learning party about Social Media and Mission. It gave us the opportunity to explore issues of technology as tools to foster relationships.
  • We are still praying, dreaming and working on our Rule of Life.
  • We are glad to have West Sine and his dog sky living with us full time now.
  • We’ve been approached by many friends interested in been part of the community in ways similar to a third other. This is an area in which we are seriously considering, praying and talking about.
