It's a busy week around here, for which I'm thankful. I've worked hard to keep myself busy since I've started the whole "being my own boss" thing. It's important to me that I not sit around too much. There is much work to be done for the new community.
Yesterday I got a chance to meet with a guy who does campus ministry at
Cal State San Marcos. He was telling me about some of his good old days doing campus ministry at San Diego State University, UCLA and USC. He also served our denom. out in
Nashvegas. There's a ton of wisdom there. And one of the things I most appreciate is that after working within our denomination for a long, long career, he still has a brain, he hasn't sold out to the machine, and he's still agitated at the right things. There may be hope for me yet.
After my meeting there, I cruised up to Orange County and hung out for a while with one of the lead pastors at
South County United. Cool dude. They're doing a house church network thing, but with a very Orange County attitude - a little more slick and polished. It'll be interested to watch this group.
In other news, I'm beginning to get a bit of clarity on the physical location of our new community. My leadings to a location seem to be driven by the right things so far, so I think that's a good thing.
