| It's about time!June means a new entry here. I post at least weekly at my blog. We are in the midst of Annual Conference; I'll get back to you on that.
Our Emergent Cohort had our first gathering last night, with about 20 people. It was a great start to what I hope will be a great blessing to each of us involved, anyone else who would like to be a part, and to the church at large.

| too longAm I supposed to upload an entry more than every month or so? I would, but I only have this site because some of my youth suggested I should. (not that I do everything my youth suggest I should do). I more frequently post at everydaytheology.

| EmergingAre you aware of the "emerging church" movement? Check out that link, or the emergent blog for more info.
David Alexander has just launched a site for an emergent cohort in the Central Texas Cnfererence. Check us out; join us; email and ask about it, at least!

| I tried to be "pastoral," really I didHere I was, minding my own business at Brookshire Brothers, getting
some groceries for me and some snackage for tonight's youth gathering,
when it happened. I was confronted by a member of my church who
has attended at least three times in the 2+ years I have been here.
Of course he started, like they all do, with promises of trying to make
it to church again. But he didn't stop there. He went on to
explain how he has been wronged by pastors in the past so he just can't
quite get that all behind him. He wants to come talk to me, to
get things settled, because, of course, I am not one of the ones who
has wronged him. (why and I tempted to add a "yet" to the end of that
sentence?)
Instead of just listening, I told him, "I know this sounds easy, but
you really just have to get up Sunday morning, get dressed, and come to
worship."
I didn't begin to suggest the freedom I have found in:
having been wronged by grocery stores, I manage to continue to buy groceries,
having been wronged by auto-repair shops, I manage to keep getting my car fixed,
having been wronged by department stores, I still occassionally manage to buy and wear clothes.
Get my drift?

| CHECK this stuff out!I'm getting all into podcasts... there is some GREAT stuff out there! My current fave is Erwin McManus at Mosaic. I just had a friend sign me up for Asbury Seminary's Chapel podcasts here. One of the best sources for insightful, inspiring messages, though not a podcast, is Rob Bell's at Mars Hill.
If you've found one I don't know about but that I would like, let me know! | | |
