Our Rooted group get-together

I posted about our Bible study group (it is called "Rooted") doing a service project at Feed My Starving Children (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2026/02/feed-my-starving-children.html). As it is ending the time of our group's commitment, we did a 24-hour fast together and then broke our fast together with a time of prayer and then sharing a meal.

We met at Lori and Marty's house -- she had this beautiful display of heirloom tomatoes that she had just harvested from her garden. She said that the hot weather we are having is causing the plants in her garden to bloom much earlier (like in March rather than May), and causing plants like her tomatoes to stop bearing earlier than they would normally finish.

We had a delicious potluck meal to break our fast. It has been great to get to know this group of folks during our season in Mesa.

At a recent Friday Night Dance

Carl took some pictures and a video of some of us line dancing at a recent Friday night dance...

The line dancers try to sit near the dance floor on the east side of the ballroom. 

We can usually count on one or two of the regulars to pick a dance for whatever song the band is playing!

Here's a video of part of this dance - "K is for Kicks" danced to "Lay Down Sally" being performed by Rocksmith, Friday night dance, 20March2026: https://youtu.be/xWpmwg5O_k0
