A ton of our friends were there to celebrate Nathan&#8217;s birthday party (not Nate Daman, a different one who is in our small group).  Nathan&#8217;s wife is a professional chef and made tons of sushi and truffles and other nice food.  For me, the really great part was the volleyball and frisbee.  We played from around 6 to after dark with breaks for free beer, great food, and socializing.  Jill and I both went all out playing ultimate frisbee, flying from place to place as if gravity didn&#8217;t exist \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/theholtsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogpicts\/dirtyfeet.jpg\" alt=\"Dirty feet\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s our very dirty feet after we got home that evening.

I&#8217;ve got to play frisbee more often!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been reading a really good book about house churches, and I just found the entire text <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therealchurch.com\/articles\/houses_that_changed_the_world.html\">at this link<\/a>.  You can also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Houses-Change-World-Wolfgang-Simson\/dp\/185078356X\">buy it here<\/a>.  Anyway, it seems like the house church is a much better model than traditional churches, and puts to words many of the frustrations I&#8217;ve ever felt in church but couldn&#8217;t explain.  Apparently there is an entire movement today to get church out of huge buildings and into peoples&#8217; homes, where they originally were.
