Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new…

Thoughts emerge about getting the Bride ready.

The way we do church has got to change.,

We are not the Johnny Carson show. Meetings were not intended to revolve around one sheep bigger than the rest while the other sheep come and eat. And come and eat. And atrophy.

There is a longing in me for us to prove that together we are stronger than being alone.

So yes, I am starting a group. maybe more than one.

But I am not going to lead it all the time. Each of us has stuff to bring. A lifetime of seeing God. How do we rotate through and become the sum of more than just one? How do we make the risk acceptable so people feel safe to fall forward?

We are on the something new phase of getting ready for a wedding.

More beautiful than Miss America, more loyal than the armed forces, more sensitive than any new ager, and more anticipatory than any bridegroom, the Bride is emerging. I feel her gather…together we are her.
