Last night we did things a little different. We met in a local coffee house that we all like called Common Grounds. It has a great atmosphere. There were 8 of us with our good friend Linda from Cape Cod and her sister Cathy. We had a great discussion - more on the "rule of life" in Romans 12 - very good talk. Obviously we drank coffee too - and yes, cleaned up after ourselves and put money in the tip jar (please do this if you're going to sit in a place like that for 2 hours). We will be doing that again - we all really had a good time.
After, we stood out front talking for another while - some of us went home - then Debi, Matt, and I went to a local Irish bar called McCarthy's - very cool place. This is, by the way, not just a bar with an Irish name - it is seriously an Irish bar. There are times you can walk in and hear only Irish accents in this place. Anyway, more good talk, and one smooth pint of Guinness later, we went home. It was a good night with the community - living community. I hope somebody else gets on here and talks about how good it was so I don't sound like I'm just blowing smoke...
