Tonight we had our young married couples group together again. We started up about a year ago, and have really strengthened some friendships with other young couples from church, and made a number of new friends as well. We started out with 8 couples, and now we're somewhere around 12 or 14 couples in three groups, plus mentor couples. Tonight we discussed applying Old Testament law to daily life today; specifically, how the laws regarding clean animals and the type of cloth our garments are crafted from are really obsolete, but how there are practical applications we can draw from them. Kind of a dry, dusty subject. We had a great discussion, and could have kept it going for quite some time.
The farmers talked about tractors, the mechanics talked about bulldozers and four-wheel drives, and the contractor types talked about roofing in the winter; the ladies had a rather in-depth discussion about pregnancy that I found rather entertaining... as I eavesdropped from the other side of the room. Its amazing that the human race has managed to survive, given all the precautions that seemingly must be made these days.
We also discovered that my listener has still to become functional. I made what I thought was a rather clever suggestion for our next meeting; evidently Josh had already made the same suggestion and everyone had already concurred. Except me. Not sure where I was at the time. Maybe thinking about four-wheel drives.

No, I'm sure it was the pregnancy discussion that got you distracted!
