Just spent a good bit of time casually surfing the blogs. It's been a long long time since I've done that. It seems like I've been way too goal oriented with my online time for a while. That bums me out, because I get so much out of the stumbling around without and end in mind. It's a lot like life.
In other news, I guess I should throw a more serious church name into the ring for consideration . . . what do you think of "CenterPoint Community"? It's appealing in a couple of ways to me, but I can't say it's got that full on umph or ring to it that I'd like. I'd steal
this one, but I think I'd get in trouble.
Another random thought . . . I've been developing a casual friendship with someone recently. This someone told me about "coming to know Jesus" for the first time a few months ago. Shortly thereafter, this someone began talking about their "partner" . . . as in same sex partner. I was disappointed to find myself thinking some pretty stupid, reactionary kinds of things at first. But once I came to my senses, I began looking forward to what God might have in mind for my friendship with this person. I want to be an encouragement, a source of help. As it turns out, this person lives in the target area where we're looking to start the new church, and I think there's a good chance we could have the opportunity to serve and help apprentice our new family member to Jesus.
