Well, we’re trying to take off for Pasadena. I was invited to a Fuller/Allelon consultation of some sort. I believe it has to do with updating seminary education for the postmodern era, but truthfully I’m not entirely sure. There were a lot of interesting folks on the invite list, so though I’m not sure how helpful I’ll be to the discussion, I thought it would be good to go and get in on some thoughtful conversation from some really sharp minds.

While we were trying to pack (the whole fam is going) Catie jumped off my bed and impaled her leg on a big fat bamboo KNITTING NEEDLE. I had to pull at least an inch of the needle out of her thigh. There wasn’t much blood and she didn’t go into shock or anything. Paul called the doctor and they said to watch it for infection and keep her still for a day to minimize the bruising. I guess a plane ride is just what the doctor ordered then….

Well, be nice to me and check my blog in ten days or so, even though I’ll be postless in the meantime.

Much love.

Rachelle

ps. ….if anyone is thinking of looting the joint while I’m gone, my two housemates…one of whom is 6 foot 3….will be home and alert. (guard duty/plant watering is one of the unspoken requirements of living at the abbey. cant’ let those heriloom tomatoes wilt now, can we?)
