Picture this

Johno was looking for some shot of life here in Indy, so I thought I'd start trying to capture it. These are some places and times of importance here in Indy and I hope to be grabbing more as we go.

The guys gather each morning to do morning prayer. We've been using a prayer book to guide us through the Psalms.

Each morning we have physical training too. This is a shot of the shoe rack and where the towels hang. It's kind of like 'our common life' in a snapshot.
Melissa and John begin grappling with the challenge of thinking about making breakfast. This happens late in the morning after personal admin so we can carry out our common work the rest of the day. Breakfast is where a lot of what happened yesterday is shared and today's plans are unveiled.

Here Brian works on some housing work. We're renting 2 places here on the Southside and just bought our first.
At this point prayer for missionary work begins. We don't have a script so each day the Lord gives us something in prayer to talk about. Atlas's and maps have become key to meditation and prayer research, good for background and piecing together what it was like 2000 years ago.

Here David and Ellen work on finances. Our finance guru Molly (code name Mary) Seale recently moved to South Bend so David and Ellen now watch the money.
