BBQ and wine

So much for regular posting, but honestly, not a lot changes for me on a weekly basis. I kind of like it that way anyway. This is my first Saturday off that I haven't been traveling somewhere since my last post though. The best weekend recently has to be March 20-22. I went to my home state, the beautiful country known as Kansas, for a wedding, but I spent the Friday before in Kansas City. It was my introductory experience of an event known as "Que-Fest". All day Friday, all three meals, each at a different BBQ restaurant. We started at Arthur Bryant's for brunch, Oklahoma Joe's for lunch, finished with Jack's Stack for supper. It was simply amazing. I hope to be able to join in for many more years to come. As for the other part of the title, tonight is Holy Communion in Washington, so that will be on my mind today for sure. I have always felt that Communion is a very important and humbling event, and look forward to it each year. I love the solemn atmosphere and the opportunity to really consider the vastness of the love of our God, and His sacrifice in order to justify, sanctify, and ultimately glorify each of those He calls His children. It humbles me to the utmost every time. I just pray for grace to do a better job maintaining that humility each and every day, knowing that I am weak but He is strong.

In Christ,
Ash
