I didn't take as many #iaumc photos as I would have liked! But here are a few capturing Laity session, the special immigration event on Friday night, the Celebration of Ministries, and our platform team!

A few scenes from #iaumc - I'm on the platform most of the time, but get to sit with everyone else for Laity session tonight! Today, we celebrated the readmission of a colleague who surrendered credentials in 1980 because he was gay. Welcome back, David!!!!!!!

Homemade banana muffins. The niece thinks they are cupcakes and has devoured hers.

Peppers got started three weeks ago. The tomatoes were on Sunday and are just starting to sprout!

Early spring growth. It is so incredibly hard not to pull all of that leaf and debris cover off and get started. #gardening

It's a breakfast on the porch kind of morning... With a side of blizzard warning by midnight. #iawx

In the last week, I had to pay $$$$ for a dental appliance that insurance doesn't cover, our TV died, our fridge ice maker went haywire and started leaking and the whole thing probably needs replaced and I sliced the tip of my finger taking a small chunk off...

But I also made English muffins.

Just finishing off the day with some homemade chocolate cake and a xocolatl inspired stout.

I didn't use instant espresso, but I did sub the cream in the ganache for coffee

New every morning is your love, Great God of Light, and all day long you are working for good in the world. Stir up in us a desire to serve you, to live peacefully with our neighbors, and to devote each day to our savior Jesus Christ.

First coffee stain on the new and improved Book of Discipline! Even though I haven't added my tabs yet, it feels broken in :) #beumc

I got a #firstdayhike in before dark! Although I didn't make it out to a park, I heard white throated sparrows and saw deer in the neighborhood.
