Had a good time last night. We hung out as usual, prayed a shortened version of the evening prayer from the liturgy of the hours (only one Psalm - 62 - and the Reading - 1 Peter 5:5b-7). That went well. We prayed in choir style, reading it back and forth to each other - males one stanza, and females next. My daughter Katey did the reading. We went around in intercession at the end of the office.
We then talked about a great article by Brian McLaren that several people were linking to yesterday - Dorothy on Leadership. Amazing article - one of the best on leadership that I've ever read I think. We talked about that and what we saw as desirable in a "leader" - good discussion. Then we ended in the Eucharist - Conor, 8, and Meaghan, 11 distributed the host and cup. It was a good time. Brian, who will soon have a computer, actually stayed till like 10pm! Boy usually is home in bed by then. He's on vacation.
