Small Group Breakfast

I LOVE SMALL GROUP FRIDAYS!

wishes for a sweeter friday, from the sweetest husband

Seriously, they are definitely among my favorites. There is something to be said about spending an evening immersed in fellowship with people who have become your friends, eating, laughing, and digging into the Bible together. There are the couples, the kids, and the teenagers who are sacrificing their Friday nights to come and babysit. It's my favorite event every other week.

Let me start off by rewinding to this morning, when I hopped in my car to head in to work, and I found this little gem waiting for me on my center console. I'm a blessed girl, that much is true.



breakfast, galore!
We'd decided early in the week that our meal theme would be breakfast foods, because after all, who doesn't love french toast? It was a smash hit whenever we tested the waters with it at the large group gathering at the Woods', so we weren't worried. I shouldn't have even bothered fretting over it, because it's a rarity in itself to find a Baptist woman who can't cook, let alone in our small group. I rushed straight home to put the finishing touches on some gorilla bread and a quiche, just in time for the group to start straggling in. Julie was the first arrival, ready to do some work on some french toast [which was delicious]. The rest filtered in, and by the time the house was full, so was the kitchen: gorilla bread, a quiche, fresh french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, orange juice, and dessert. It's been proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not do it twice? J

our version of b.y.o.B. ;)
 Once the eating was underway, we picked back up where we'd left off in the book of James. This is definitely one of my favorite books of the Bible, so it was refreshing to get some new perspective both by re-studying the chapters, and from the feedback of our group on passage interpretation. The other two small groups, at the Page and Werner homes are also doing the same study course, so I'm really looking forward to when we join forces for our big gathering at the Woods at the end of our divided studies.


It's been a good day. I'm feeling much better, but it's definitely time for bed.
See ya bright 'n early!
