Jesus on the Airplane
The most beautiful Crucifixion, IHOP Prayer Room.
Well, I’ve been back from KC for a few days now, but as April and May are busy ones for us, I’m catching up on my promised IHOP entries from a Panera Bread in Perrysburg, Ohio. I think I may blog about the ARC conference that begins today in Toledo, so stay tuned for that.
But to tie it all up with regards to my IHOP trip, I wanted to share perhaps the coolest encounter I had. It was on the airplane coming home.
Esther’s School of Life, from Katie Mendelsohn
See, ladies, this is what I’m talking about! Everything comes under the gaze of God, and under the auspices of community–not just “spiritual” talk, but teaching each other, sharing what we know. Katie Mendelsohn has some incredible skills she’d like to pass on, so I’m going to make room for that here in Esther’s harem. We all have something we can pass on at the Kaffe Klatsch. So bring it on! –Love, Esther
I recently was talking with a sister (who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent) who commented that she did not know how to make a pie crust. I remembered a conversation with a friend years ago about how one of her goals in life was to learn to make a pie crust by the age of 30–(she achieved it). And I began thinking about how many of us have things we’d like to learn, but don’t know how to go about doing easily. These goals don’t tend to be major things, but yearnings we have to master some skill or overcome some obstacle. It occurred to me that we could be the answer for each other’s unfulfilled wishes in this regard. I know how to make bread. I sew. I could help someone learn how to read a pattern, for example. I have taught many people how to make bread and would be willing to show more. I’ve never learned to crochet or read a knitting pattern.
Any thoughts, sisters?
