Massive blog delay....how embarrassing to say i didn't know how to log out with one email address and log in with the other?  I'm blaming it on a) being 60 b) lack of vegetables, c) brain fart.   Don't tell my son-in-law Alex or he'll tease me til I cry.  That's an exaggeration...

SO.  San Francisco is hot and muggy. You should hear the locals whine.  Back in the midwest, everyone is sweating and there's a flood on University Avenue in front of Whole Foods.  Here, it sprinkled yesterday and was a little muggy.  Hmmm....cowgirl up, San Francisco!

The Women's Center has been looking like plywood, wires, and pipes since I arrived at the beginning of June.  Today an alarming thing happened. They discovered a water pipe that doesn't connect to anything.  What I know about plumbing could be summed up in two words (almost nothing), but this sounds really bad to me.  How can a pipe connect to nothing? How does that work????

Please pray.  The budget for this project has already skyrocketed because of contracting and materials costs going beyond estimates.  Now, they will have to tear up the floor to find out what's happening with this pipe.  This is very discouraging to BJM folks who hoped to open the center in May. Please pray.

News here....some new interns arrive and some leave.  Looks like it will be like this all summer. What a joy to meet new "kids" (as in they're all young enough to be my kids...I love it!)

 I am focusing on doing healing prayer with staff and students.  Friday I'll do the second of two workshop sessions on Boundaries and Trust in Relationships.  This week we'll explore what boundaries look like and what words we can use to set them.  We'll brainstorm about common situations and how, when, and what kind of boundaries they might warrant.  When they asked me who would be a good candidate for this workshop I said, "Every woman on the planet."  ....Doing our part for healthy relationships everywhere!

Happy almost-weekend.
