It has been far too long since any of us has posted here. It is 2 a.m. and I just finished reading ALL the posts from the beginning. I was missing the gathered group. My heart is full of love for you all. My favorite "thing" of all time is family. Nothing beats the comfort and familiarity of being with people you don't have to impress, you love and you can laugh with.

Bustling together to prepare for a Thanksgiving meal, lining up in red with wings and chili to watch the Buckeyes or bunching up on couches to read the Christmas story and then open gifts are all quintessential pictures of the "fullness of life" in the here and now. I know that someday every tear will be dried and all sickness healed - but in the meantime - it doesn't get any better than family en masse.

Agreed. I have recently been scheeming to find the perfect place to watch the OSU-Mich game. I have two potential places right now.
