Never Eat Alone.

There is a popular business book entitled: Never Eat Alone. That title has stuck with me over the last couple of years as a good reminder to engage engage engage. Why do anything alone when you can do it with others? That is really what Christian life and community is all about.

So yesterday, I had about an hour or so in between meetings and it landed right around lunch time. After a quick trip to the bank I decided I had better grab a quick bite to eat. That morning I had really been thinking about Jessica, Javeyon, Anthony, Jada and Montrel - our friends in the KAMP's neighborhood (see http://marshilljourney.blogspot.com/2008/04/fruit-of-sharefest.html for the back story).

So I made my way over to 33rd & McKinley and found the entire little family there together. After hanging out in the living room for a bit, I decided to take the two older boys (age 7 and 6) for some lunch. We landed at Irma's for some cheeseburgers. It was too much fun sitting up at the bar downing burgers and root beers with two little men who I am confident will be a part of my life for some time.

So, Never Eat Alone!
