I love, love, love Rafa and I love, love, love spending time with him. But no matter how much I love him, I still enjoy time away from him every now and then!
During the summer, the regular church activities slow down a bit and I start to really miss the usual cadence of fellowship. Enter book club! We’re going to meet every week for the foreseeable future.
As if it wasn’t great enough that I get to spend time with an awesome group of women there are even more positives:
Bonus #1: We meet at an amazing cafe – Ring Mountain Creamery. The have very tasty gelato, which my friend Laura and I enjoyed immensely.
Bonus #2: We are going to read “The Purpose Driven Life” together. I shied away from the book when I first heard about it. I think I had Rick Warren slightly confused with Joel Osteen, whose slimy smile and prosperity gospel is a disservice to the name of Christ (end of rant).
But now I know that Rick Warren is legit and I’ve heard good things about the book, so I’m excited to see what God will teach us through it.
Bonus #3: A little time away from Rafa makes me appreciate him even more when I get home! 😉
