Reflections After Old Long Beach Calvary Chapel Reunion 2017

I've been thinking about this all week:

You know what was different about the old Calvary Chapel/Vinyard/Shekinah Long Beach reunion than other reunions I've attended?

No one was boasting about their accomplishments or embarassed about their lack of accomplishments. No one worried about what to wear. No one cared if they didn't look the same way they did when they were in their teens or 20s or 30s.

Joy and love took place on November 19, 2017! We were just "ourselves." We were just "family." We were genuinely glad to be together again.
