Momentum

We took the fam to a UVM rugby match last week. When did college kids get so young? Geesh Jeremy's old! Our girls had a blast running around and playing with the dogs...apparently rugby is the game of choice by dogs of many breeds. What a blessing for Soph who knows if there's a puppy within 50 yards of us.

Zoe was so intently watching the match and then decided she could help the boys and made a mad dash for the field. Let me just lay this picture out for you: Rugby is a violent sport - much hitting and shoving and flying through the air - it's awesome. We were watching the guys play, so it wasn't as hard-hitting as the girl's match but still... The fans are separated from the field by a thin yellow rope wrapped around wooden stakes. Zoe dropped her Teddy Grahams and made a break for it. Jeremy grabbed her jacket just before she went under the thin yellow rope. Where were her parents?


Her mother was doing the Lord's work. I met a girl who plays rugby, is taking a class on coffee and is the first student who we met by just being here, doing our thing, being ourselves. I talked to her about Apostrophe and Stand and she thought it was cool. The saddest part was that her mother started talking to me first. Geesh Jeremy makes me look old. Dang it. When did I start to relate more to mothers than college kids. Sadness. Botox.

Can you see it? Apostrophe Coffee...Stand Church

We also walked around the Pearl Street house and "met" a guy who lives in the apartments on the third floor. That was interesting. We were loitering. He was braving the sunlight. It was magical. But real.





We're really here. Doing things because God told us to and I can't wait to see how these random moments start to add up and become church. It gets my blood pumping, my dreams sparking. All this still is now ebbing toward momentum.

I think this is how you plant a church. I like it.
