August 19

Jessica is currently serving as the interim worship director at our church, and a month or two ago I invited her over so I could get to know her a little better. Today, we finally made it happen.

The air was substantially clearer than the smoky mess that was yesterday, so we sat in the backyard with goodies from the Bagel Cafe and talked about life for more than an hour. She's genuine and sweet and intelligent, and I really enjoyed the time.

So today, I'm grateful for her honesty and openness, and for the start of a new friendship.
