I was glad to see this go through! It has been interesting to watch as the RCA went though the decision making process - it sure takes a long time (and rightly so I suppose).

i was not part of an interesting discussion on the confession at the spaghetti dinner on sunday. anyone want to give some thoughts from that discussion?

Looking forward to it. Jaysen is bringing a friend with us.

God is soooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!

Jeff and the rest of the community,

It was a very good sermon, but I couldn't fully listen because I was so caught up in my own thoughts. Can't wait to listen to it online to see what I missed. I thank the church for the things they shared and the things I heard the next couple of days that showed me that in answer to some of the questions Jeff asks above, YES YES YES the wilderness experiences are just part of the journey to be embraced. ...

One thing that popped into my mind as I read this blog entry is that we need to be cleaving, seeking, listening to God in these experiences. A big part of cleaving, seeking, listening to God is done with the church. Our, at least my tendency is to withdraw at these wilderness points. For me that is what comes naturally. We need to resist that temptation. That is not embracing our wilderness and continuing on with trust in God. That is giving in to our humanness.

(continued)

I need the church to help me continue to thrive in the wilderness. It is a tricky walk, a step here, a step there, stopping to look around, turning around and considering running to our comfort zones.

Thanks church for showing up each week on Sunday. I know alot of things going on in your lives that are difficult. Knowing the trials you face and seeing your face on Sunday encourage me in my wilderness. Let's keep keeping it real people so others will know they are not alone.

Don, it was refreshing to hear another perspective from your comments. : )

Alan Keyes is the other black man I couldn't remember in my earlier post. He was a Republican nominee in 2000 election...he needs to run again!
