In pursuit of what it means to be church . . .
2012 January 3
I am reading Deep Church by Jim Belcher. I found this tremendously encouraging today:
Finally, being postfoundational does not mean we are timid. Our confidence is not in ourselves and our wonderful ability to grasp and see reality, but in knowing that God knows all things and has chosen us to be part if his story. He has revealed the beginning and the end, and asked us to be his loyal representatives in his world. This good news takes the focus off of ourselves and our existential search for meaning-because we know the source of meaning and our identity is secure-and allows us to spend our efforts in boldly serving others for the common good.

Hi Angela,
I just read all of the updates for the last 6 weeeks – WOW!! It was so wonderful to see you guys in the pictures. Mataeus especially liked Mackenzie’s costume
I’m glad that your holiday was a wee bit “Canadian”, with all of that “great snow”… it made me chuckle!
So, know that I’m back in the loop, and know that I’m always praying for you. I can check my emails once a week on Michael’s work computer, so I plan to read your updates each time. We’ll get our new mac in February, so I’ll hopefully see you then. HUGS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
lots of love,
Roanna
