Yep, still busy. Can't say that anything extraordinary is going on to make it so, but it just seems like we've been constantly in motion for the past couple of weeks.
One thing we did was have some new friends, Duane and Kathy Jones, over for dinner on Friday. That was cool. I had met Duane a few months back at a pastor's prayer group, and we quickly discovered that we have a common friend in
Jason Evans. Duane and Kathy have a great story of trusting God and being faithful. I admire them because they acted in faith on some of the heart stirrings that many of us emerging/post-seeker/younger evangelical/missional types have acted on, but they did it several years before there was a well-defined vocabulary for it all. I'm looking forward to more conversations with them.
I'm hoping that over the next few days I'll be able to get acquainted with the new books I picked up from a local seminary library the other day. I got stuff by Lesslie Newbigin, George Hunsberger, and Thomas Merton. This will be my first foray into the world of Merton.
Alan Creech will be proud.
Looks like another busy week ahead. Work, church in the park, car repairs, and we're driving several hours on Friday to go to a wedding. I've got some other projects on the table that I need to make progress on as well. Maybe I'll be able to squeeze in a blog post or two along the way. We'll see.
