New Friends at Church
God has definitely answered our prayers by bringing our friends to church. They had to leave immediately after the Easter service, but I received an email saying they enjoyed the service so much and they'll be back next week. Great!
God is at work and is placing more friends in our lives who are interested in coming to church. It's really exciting but a little overwhelming at the same time. It sure keeps us busy, on our toes, and totally dependent on Him to reach out to these friends.
Thanks for your prayers!

God Answers Prayers
Dave and I were thinking about inviting some friends to the Easter service at our church. We had been out of touch with these friends for a good 2 weeks. So I was praying that God will open up opportunities for me to talk with these friends and invite them to the Easter service. Yesterday, I ran into one friend at Target in the middle of a workday afternoon, and then when I got home I checked the mail to find an Easter card from the other friend I was praying for! I called her up to say thanks for the card and invited her to join us for Easter service.
It's in God's sovereign plan for these events to happen. Both friends are interested in coming! Please pray for our friends and our conversations after the service.

Risotto
We've been so into risotto lately! It all started when we had risotto with sweet potato at Joey and Jeannette's wedding. Mmmmm it was creamy and sooooo good! We're still talking about that meal.
You'll usually find risotto in nicer restaurants. So it must be too expensive to make at home! Nope, it's not bad at all! It's just rice. It's the Italian way of making rice.
I haven't tried this one yet, but Rachael Ray made a spinach risotto on her show last week. Here's the recipe.
What delicious foods have you tried lately? Any recipes to share?

Jury Duty and the Price is Right
Today, I did my civil duty as a citizen of Ingham county and showed up for jury duty. I was actually kind of disappointed that I didn't get picked!
Despite the formal exterior and orderly process, the courtroom actually reminded me of the Price is Right. Someone's name would get called to "come on down!" and then they got to sit in these cool seats on the side.
And it's not like they didn't win anything ... they recently raised the jury duty compensation to up to $40/day! That's potentially $200/week. Not quite "a new car!" but still pretty impressive.


Snow snow go away
I was telling Lindsay the other day that you can tell who's really committed to living in Michigan by whether or not they have a snow blower or not. I used to love shoveling the snow for my parents because I thought it was fun and I liked to help out my parents ... and I guess it's still kind of fun now, but there's just been way too much snow this year. It may be time for us to commit to Michigan and buy a snow blower!
