Adventure to the Big C

Last Friday, Homegroups 4 and 6 ventured up the steep slopes behind Foothill to the Big "C". It was a beautiful, moonlit night and I'm sure we scared all the wild animals away with our boisterous banter as we ascended.

At the peak, we enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate (though most people were too hot from the hike to drink anything warm) and Andrew did his best to scoop out some marshmallow matter from the bag for each person...

Wow - what a view!

After returning to civilization, we headed for Dana House for some clam chowder, foosball, and good ol' storytelling.

Dana House, for those who may not know, houses over 20 brothers from Koinonia, acts2fellowship, and Kairos. It's the site for many of our small groups, activities and fellowship times - like last week's get-together and this week's BBQ.

I've lived there myself for 2 years in the past, as well as Dan from HG 4. We checked out the infamous House Pictures on display in the living room and recounted some Dana House history - always full of intrigue and hilarious mishaps!

Gracepoint Fellowship Church sages? Board game night and Ugandan proverbs?

This last Friday we headed out after Bible study with Homegroup R.E.D. to Gracepoint Fellowship Church's building in Alameda for a Smorgas-board game night.  After starting off with a game called "Do you know your neighbor?" in which we got to learn some interesting facts about each other (like who was part of the "body worship" teams in their youth groups back in high school), we started in on the board games.  And, we had pretty much every game you could imagine, except for Monopoly: Settlers of Catan, Blockus, Risk, Taboo, Apples to Apples, and Guesstures, you name it.  As for myself, I tried a new game called Wise or Otherwise, in which we try and come up with "wise" proverbs, but these proverbs often end up being "otherwise."  Out of these possible choices, what's the real one?

An old Ugandan proverb says: "A man who loves you tells you to build ..."

- "... a sturdy hut."

- "... a house."

- "... his house."

- "... his house, as well as your own."

- "... on a rock."

- "... wisdom and love to last a lifetime."

One of these proverbs is a real Ugandan proverb - the rest are proverbs that our Gracepoint sages of wisdom - myself, Emily Kim, Stuart, Wynn, Steven Chua, Rick, and Mike Kang - came up with.  See if you can guess the right one and make your case in the comments - and I might reveal the real one later in the week!
