Families, Bands, and Tribes

"Family--we are not meant to be alone-we are meant to be part of bigger families, bands, and tribes. Human beings want and need the intimate support of a real family. Unfortunately, the nuclear family of our modern society is contracted. Don't settle for nuclear family contraction. Extend!" ----Andrew Weil

We had a fabulous experience of nuclear family expansion over Thanksgiving week-end. Celebrating the holiday and Parker Andrew's baptism were Grandma's and Grandpa's, aunts and uncles, neices, nephews, and cousins.

"Parker Andrew, child of God, you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked with the cross of Christ forever." --Pastor Jeff

Welcome into the family!
