I couldn't think of a good title for today's blog. We had a good day! This morning we went to Park Hill United Methodist Church and I think we may have found a home away from home. It is a unique congregation because it is half African-American and half white. The pastor is an African-American male and the associate pastor is a white female! It is very close to our apartment, the people were VERY friendly, and I am anxious to worship in a diverse congregation.

After church we headed downtown to the ESPN zone to watch the Chief's game. I was nervous about being a Chiefs fan in Denver, but there were a lot of fellow fans and a couple of them invited us to sit at a table with them. Too bad the Chiefs lost! :(

Later, David went with me to an event at Regis University. Anna Baltzer, a Jewish American, was speaking about her experience in the Occupied Palestinian territories. I had heard Anna speak before, and she was equally impressive the second time. I would encourage ALL to check out her website www.AnnaInTheMiddleEast.com or read her book "Witness in Palestine." I talked to her afterward and asked for a picture. I told her I'm not interested in meeting rock stars, but I would love to get a picture with someone who so passinately works for justice!


Tonight was also the dinner at President Trickett's house (the president of Iliff). All first-year students and their families were invited. David and I hadn't been there very long when I thought I saw someone I knew. Sure enough, there was a girl I had known from district youth events in high school! She and her husband are both starting seminary so not only do I have a friend in seminary, but David and I have a couple to hang out with!

Tomorrow is Orientation so I'm sure I will post again... :)
Love and miss you all!
