It was one of those rare days that I saw both the sunrise and sunset. Heidi, Nick and I got up at about 4:50 am had a sunrise service at a park five minutes from our apartment. It was a time to reflect on scripture, pray for the city, and watch God's workmanship. I was reminded that God's mercies are new every morning.

This afternoon (and into the evening), my apartment complex had a BBQ on top of the roof. We had a wonderful time grilling, eating, laughing, taking pictures, soaking in the sun rays, talking, being.
