<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today we went to the Acropolis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every Greek city had an acropolis, but the
one in Athens is the most famous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is the site of the Parthenon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
base of the Acropolis is the Areopagus or Mars Hill from Acts 17:16-34.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where The Apostle Paul most likely
gave a speech or defense of the message he was preaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also visited the Agora, or market place
further down the Acropolis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is almost
certain that Paul was here and walked among the various shops and colonnades. The
top of the Acropolis gave an amazing view of Athens, but no picture really does
it justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are hills all around
Athens, so the city looks like a basin with houses going up the hills.<o:p></o:p></div>

This is a picture of the Temple of Nike – the Greek god of
Victory – atop a wall of the Acropolis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Parthenon, and the Athenian temple and even the temple of Nike were homes for the
god who lived there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The god of the
temple was made of marble and usually wrapped in gold, or silver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, those who came to visit the site and
worship at the site were not permitted to enter the temple – only the priest of
that particular god. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The temple was for
the god, and there were many different gods and many different temples on the
Acropolis alone.</div>

This plaque mounted on the rock shows the Greek text of Acts
17:22-31.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The story in Acts records that
Paul was sharing the gospel in the market place of Athens, and some were
intrigued and some took offense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
asked that he tell them more at the Areopagus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once they were there Paul delivered his speech. In the speech Paul says things like, “The God who made the
world and everything in it…does not live in temples made by human hands…we
ought not to think that the deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, an image
formed by the art and imagination of mortals…he has fixed a day when he will
have the world judged in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, and of this
he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

is either facing or has his back to the Acropolis, so that he and his hearers
can see this…<o:p></o:p></div>

Now imagine how those words must have sounded in this
context to folks who were quite used to gods living in temples while the
worshippers are kept on the outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would
have been foreign, or offensive – or maybe just plain crazy. Imagine how a god lacking a temple and dying for <i>them</i> would have sounded. And imagine how strange Christians must have seemed since they lacked priests, a temple, and sacrifices: all common features of all other religious practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me, it was amazing to place this speech
in context, and imagine how the context moved Paul to take the homiletical
approach he did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

The Greek Free Church is distinguished form the State Church: Greek Orthodox. As Klyne says, “To be Greek, is to be Greek Orthodox,” so those in the Free Church here get some flack from time to time. This response is the same as the Mission Covenant Church’s history in Scandinavia, and elsewhere. The service was lackluster. It was a one man show, and the congregation mostly “showed up.” <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
When I first saw it I thought of the contrast of the satyr stooping at the god Dionysos’ feet to untie his sandals as compared to the image in John 13, of Jesus (whom I believe to be God incarnate) washing the feet of his disciples. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<i>One god demands that we untie his sandals, and the Other washes his disciple’s feet. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
But we must hold this in tension with the words of John the Baptist in Mark 1:7, “The one who is more powerful than me is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals.” Or again in John 12:1-8 where Mary pours perfume on Jesus’ stinky feet, and wiped them with her hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<i>This God is both humble and worthy of humble adoration.</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Perhaps it is because of this divine humility that God is worthy of humble adoration. I know one thing, Jesus was explicit in his teaching that we humble ourselves before others as he did: “So if I, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14). <o:p></o:p></div>

Evelyn Jane turned one month on July 19. Her weight got all the way up to 8 lbs. 2 oz! And she grew two inches! She is long and skinny, much like the other two in my family.</div>

We were discharged from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. We stopped by my sister's apartment to pick up Charlotte and headed home. The two girls took an instant liking to each other, although it has taken Charlotte a while to understand that Evelyn doesn't really "play."</div>

Evelyn Jane Mecher joined our family at 8:38 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19th. She weighed i:n at 6 lbs., 12 oz. and measured at 20 3/4 in. Charlotte was a mere 6 lbs., 3 oz. We have teeny, tiny babies, apparently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I labored for about 16 hrs. at home before we headed to the hospital at 7:30 p.m. When we arrived, all of the hospital beds and triage beds were FULL. I sat (and labored) in a waiting room with three women ahead of me who were NOT in labor for about 45 minutes. After Kyle was persistent with the nurses and my midwife, he convinced them to check how far I was dilated to see if I could just go home- I was only at 3 cm., so we headed back home. It was a bummer to not be admitted, but it sure was better than sitting in that waiting room. We came home for about four more hours, until my contractions were so bad that I insisted we go back to the hospital, where we were easily admitted to triage at 12:30 a.m. After a short (and painful) wait in triage, we were admitted and I was able to get some IV narcotics and, eventually, an epidural around 4 a.m. (we're at 24 HOURS here, in case you're keeping track. I labored for 16 hours with Charlotte. I thought second babies were supposed to come MUCH faster). Kyle and I both slept for a little while, at around 6 a.m., my midwife came and broke my water, and at 8:30, when my midwife came to check my progress, Evelyn was COMING OUT. I could feel nothing, praise Jesus. She quickly set up, I pushed 4 or 5 times and there she was! A little dark haired beauty!</div>

This weekend we brought Charlotte to Covenant Point so that Kyle and I could cook for the second One Life Retreat, a retreat for all of the Covenant Central Conference (Illinois, Wisconsin, and Upper Michigan) senior high students. It was so fun to be in the kitchen. Charlotte joined us there sometimes, and also spent some time with Linnea, Kevin, and Laurel and Auntie Courtney, Uncle Erik, Caleb, Jackson, and Emmett. On Sunday we had the afternoon off, so we took Charlotte out to play in the snow- it was beautiful and sunny and 20-ish degrees- perfect!</div>

<br />
I am so ready for spring.<br />
<br />
I never really appreciated the seasons until I lived in Michigan. I'm not quite sure what Michigan had to do with it, but that was where I learned to appreciate the seasonality of food. Prior to this, I'm not even sure I could have told you what produce was in season when. Now root vegetables and oranges and avocados mean winter and berries and grilled meats and basil mean summer. Fall means apples and pumpkin flavored everything and soups and stews. And spring...<br />
<br />
I know that I have never looked forward to spring so much as after a UP winter. Even wandering through the slush under grey skies in my rain boots was a thrill after feeling cooped up indoors for months and months. I remember the first year I lived there on the first "warm" day in march when the thermometer hit something like 50 degrees, Kyle and I layered on sweaters and scarves and piled on blankets and went to sit on our front porch to read. And even though my fingers were still a little bit frozen holding my book open, it felt like <i>heaven</i>.<br />
<br />
I am so looking forward to asparagus and all of the lemon flavored things I have pinned on Pinterest. I'm looking forward to Holy Week and Easter celebrations and ham and eggs and scalloped potatoes. And, oh my, Reese's peanut butter eggs and Cadbury robin's eggs. And the glorious feeling of not having to wear a down coat or let your car warm up. I'll be honest, I could do without all of the pastels, but I am looking forward to finally being able to wear cute not-so-warm shoes again, going without socks, and the feeling of the sun on my skin.<br />
<br />
I pray, I pray, I pray that that groundhog doesn't see his shadow! Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16079866766416820822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069555503887799670.post-20983274451913240642012-12-19T15:06:00.002-06:002012-12-19T15:06:12.598-06:00Massive Blog/Life Update<div style="text-align: center;">
As many of you know there have been some changes in our life. We moved to a larger apartment at Ashland and Irving Park mid-October after Kyle got the job as the facilities manager at our Church. The apartment acts as Kyle's compensation. Jenny left her job in Northbrook after trying to make it work and now watches two infants 3 to 4 days a week at home. Shortly after moving we were thrilled to learn that another Mecher was on the way. All these adjustments relegated blog-maintenance to the bottom of the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that you are up to speed, enjoy three months of pictures!</div>

Jenny and Charlotte went to Winter Wonderfest at Navy Pier last week with the cousins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlotte climbed so fast up the slides but she would just sit at the top and cause a back-up. Finally Jenny had to tell Adeline to just push her down the slide. Charlotte still remembers it fondly.</div>

At a recent retreat at Covenant Point Linnea watched Charlotte while Jenny and I worked in the kitchen. Laurel and Charlotte were playing quietly in the other room until Linnea heard Laurel ask, "Mom, can we play Braveheart with our faces?" (Braveheart is a camp game always introduced by staff in face paint and kilts). Puzzled by such a request Linnea soon discovered these two covered in washable marker all ready to play. Future Staffers for sure.</div>

Donna led us through her garden and let Charlotte pull some carrots. She loved it. Kyle the agrarian almost teared up seeing Charlotte learn where food comes from. Not pictured: Donna also let us "dig potatoes," which was like mining for gold in the dirt. The potatoes just kept coming! She gave us 7 HUGE potatoes and we ate them that night. It does not get much fresher than that!</div>

Today we took Charlotte to the library to turn in her reading program poster. (She is the queen of wacky smiles lately.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Because Charlotte had 25 books read to her, she earned a red book bag tote. When we handed in her poster, the children's librarian was asking her questions about the books she read. In a very nice way, it seemed like he was kind of quizzing her to see if she actually read them. Which, we did. We read most of the books, like 20 times as requested by Charlotte. So when he said "How many books did you read?" and Charlotte replied, "Ummm, TWO," or when he said, "What kind of animal is Skippyjonjones" and Charlotte said, "I no read Skippyjonjones," I felt like a stage mom, trying to feed her the correct answers and not for the life of me understanding why she was saying such crazy things.</div>

Tonight we went to Mario's Italian Lemonade stand. YUM-O. It was Charlotte and my maiden voyage. I got coconut and was not disappointed. Charlotte got strawberry. Most of it ended up on her shirt, legs, and shoes, but I think she enjoyed what she got in her mouth.</div>

Actually, we're pretty sure that Charlotte thinks the sandbox <i><b>is</b></i> camp. Sometimes we would be in our cabin and Charlotte would say, "I wanna go to caaaaaaaamp."</div>

It's a little small and her furniture was taking up most of her space. We decided to move her dresser into the closet to make more room for playing. We ended up creating this little reading corner, which Charlotte LOVES and sits and reads in all of the time.<br />

We also, inspired by my friend, Jenny, headed over to the Albany Park library- which is AWESOME- yesterday and signed Charlotte up for the summer reading program. She has to have 25 books read to her by August 4 and she'll receive a little book bag. We picked up a new Knuffle Bunny, or "Trixie" book (as Charlotte calls them) and another of Charlotte's favorites, Skippyjonjones. She is loving reading!<br />
