Swim Thursdays

My girlfriend, Mary, dedicates Thursday afternoons during the summer to swimming. In fact, she opens her house and invites anyone and everyone in our community group and beyond, to come over and swim, eat and fellowship. There may be as few as 2 families or as many as 8-10 families. Sometimes everyone may show up at once, other times there will be 2 completely different waves of people. We usually eat around 6, and it is a piecemeal effort. Everyone brings one component of the meal. What a great time we all have together: swimming, talking, laughing, eating and enjoying the time that God has given to us.
