"Everything is Spiritual"
This is a change of pace for this blog. Rob Bell is a gifted speaker I have heard several times at Willow. On June 30th he begins a speaking tour across the country starting in Chicago. The title of the tour is "Everything is Spiritual" and the tickets are $10 snd are sold out for this venue. A friend called me the other day and said she originally bought 20 tickets and now has 10 available if I know anyone who might be interested. Pete and I are hoping to go but thought I would mention here if you might want to attend. Email me at bakpak2@comcast.net and I will give you the details.
The cool thing is all proceeds from this tour go to an organization called Wateraid, a unique organization providing clean drinking water to third world countries. If I knew how to create a link without asking Drew, I would. In the meantime here is the website: http://www.wateraid.org/international )
Father's Day 2006 had its' share of good things: Saw Chris at church, talked to Greg and got to tell both these guys what great dads they are. Sat between Pete and Steve H. as they stood to be honored at Dadfest at Willow.
Not so good things: Tommy could not be with his family at church because of his work schedule. Really weird things: At brunch with family members, having to take Pete's mom to the restroom because she was having another "food episode". Pretty much a repeat of spending Christmas Eve in the emergency room with her, without having to actually go to the hospital!
Sad things: Missing my dad; missing Laurie at a wedding Saturday night she should have been at; thinking about dear friend Debbi going through her first Father's Day without her sweet husband and dad of their 10 kids...

Praying for you. Too bad about Pete's mom. Love, Gail
Where else in the country is Rob speaking? I didn't see any info about it on Willow's website. Do you know a website where I could find out more?
--Thanks in Connecticut
Anonymous - You can check out the Mars Hill website, the Nooma website and Ticketmaster for Rob Bell locations.
Barb, you are a treasure! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Our church family really rallied around the children Sunday, offering lots of support and encouragement as they faced Father's Day without Don for the first time. I'm deeply grateful for their sensitivity and kindness...
Have been spending every spare moment in preparation for the women's conference in August.
All of your dear family--ever on my heart and in my mind. Next time you talk w/Diane, please give her my love. You gals are overdue for a return trip to Florida for another getaway!
Enormous hugs and air kisses,
Deb
When you are writing your post write a word like (water) and then highlight it and click on the link sign on the top of the box where you are typing in your text...it will prompt you for the www.etc and you put that in. It will then highlight the word in a different color and people can click on it and go to that website...
Love ya chica! and I might want to go to that rob bell thingy....
FYI - The "link sign" looks like a chain link.
It's fun to play around with all those buttons.
