BODY:
Took the Matrix personality test, apparently I have the power to offer you the blue pill or the red pill.
So..........which will it be?
COS was kind of like one of those ten pound pizzas they used to serve at Shakeys for anyone brave enough to try. It's goooood going down but the effect is like a stealth bomber later on...it stays with you and then resurfaces in ways you never expected.
I left disturbed, in a good way.
I did not go looking for a "blueprint" of how to "do" church or community or all the other labels we paste on learning to "be" the people of God. I simply went with the gut feeling that some things would crystallize and become clear for me in forming a picture of what our own unique community could be........and it did.
I missed the last talk on Saturday morning because I was as physically sick as I have been in the last seven years and I wanted to go home. I am only today finally feeling well enough to write.
I am feeling thankful right now for my community here in Augusta and also the larger community of Allelon and other internet friends who continue to have a positive impact on my life and worldview.
Thanks to Keck, Hunter, Priddy, Griffin, and other friends for simply being who you are.
