just had to say...

....that tonight was one of the best nights of ministry ever.

not cause lots of stuff was solved or organized or figure out....but you get 4 people together, with similar passions and vision, big hearts for people and God, that college/post college 20 something idealism, mixed with a vague sense of hipster awareness and cultural saavy, and something magic happens.

mostly, though, it has to do with God's spirit. And His choice to bless us with each other and a chance to make a difference.

i
love
my
job.

i sat listening to your prayers and imagined us all somewhere else someday, doing different things, in different places, with different people, knowing that each of us would loook back on this time, even this moment, and remember it as when something started.



what do we call this thing? josh suggested "love wins"... its jacked from rob bell, but i think he'd be ok if we used it for something so kick-a.

Only mouths are we. Who sing the distant heart which safely exists in the center of all things? His giant heartbeat is diverted in us
into little pulses. And his giant grief is, like his giant jubilation, far too great for us. And so we tear ourselves away
from him time after time, remaining only mouths. But unexpectedly and secretly the giant heartbeat enters our being, so that we scream and are transformed
..."

we were all heartbeats... :)

(thank you kristin for giving vintage that most precious post-college passion and freedom of yours...because of this i have worked out a deal with g-d to ensure that your passion pulse (in addition to your life in general) will never cease!! even beyond the End of the Age! good deal huh?!)

heartbeats!
