It's been too long that I have prayed with others in a small group setting. Yesterday I did. I'm not sure what makes it different than solo-prayer or large-corporate prayer, but it's a rather unique kind of prayer, i.e. small-group prayer. It was revitalizing and good for my soul.

Bev mentioned that she was proud that I have non-Asian friends in Seattle. Ha ha! This group is all white women, and quite different from any Christians I've ever hung out with. Just to give you an idea... the host/leader is the kind that tends to wear a lot of gothic black, her hair is dyed rather bright red, she works as a sign-language teacher and has two pet tarantulas. Yes, you heard me, not just one, but TWO tarantulas - Itsy and Sprocket (I think.) She lets them run around the house too. (haha, just kidding!)

The other women are also of quite different demographic backgrounds... for instance, they don't work in your typical "career" type jobs... e.g. secretary, retail-type jobs... or they work to support themselves fully and attend community college. Two of the them have already been married and are now divorced. One comes from a really broken past and background before she met God.

And yet, we are brought together in Christ! For there is now no Greek nor Jew...
