Now & Then

Is it possible to keep eight college friends together for over 20 years? Even through marriage and kids, the answer is yes.

For more than 21 years “the gang” has been gathering for fellowship, food and fun. We started out as core members of a Bible study group on the Messiah College campus– after graduations, four weddings and the births of twelve children, we all live within an hour and a half radius and get together a few times each year.

The first photo was taken in 1988, the year before the babies started coming. The second was taken in December of 2003. 15 years and some things never change. Some things, as you can see, do!

Back to Back
I’ve been down with a pulled back muscle for the past two days – not at all a fun time. It seems I can perform the most inocuous task and end up in near-crippling back pain for three to four days. So, it looks like we need to cancel plans for a day trip to Ocean City, NJ for some of the best pizza in the world (Mack & Manco) and to walk the boards. Bummer. Maybe we can find another free weekend before too long.

Oh, great. Another another person with nothing to say with a blog. Fine. If you really feel that way, click this. Otherwise, feel free to comment on anything. We’ll see where this takes us…
