Alan Creech’s post - On May 5th or thereabouts

Alan was pondering past May 5th (or thereabouts) posts so I thought I’d do the same.  You couldn’t tell from this blog (on wordpress.com) but I’ve actually been blogging since January of 2003.  I started over on Blogger (back in the day when it was all html, no wysiwyg), but a couple years ago my Blogger blog freaked out and quit working.  Fortunately, I had backed up 99% of my 800 or so posts!  I’ll attempt a copy paste of past May 5th posts:

We had a good House Church gathering last night. Spent some time reflecting on who we are as a house church - attributes like affirming, fun, safe, encouraging. We all agreed that we need to be more intentional about being in each other’s lives and about being involved in our community. It’s that missional/communal tension. My prayer is that we would not become inwardly focused on warm-fuzzies, but would find our fellowship on the missional journey. I think that will be harder and less “modern” (nice little boxes of nurture and outreach), messier and more in the mix - - - how to communicate that and set that as a community ideal and core narrative?

Thoughts On The Way to the Abbey: Discontent/Time to Get Radical?

If you give props to someone who gave props to you for giving props to them what does that mean? At what point does it become a prop-eller? Anyway…. Check out Arlen’s post: Thoughts On The Way to the Abbey: Discontent/Time to Get Radical?

This past Tuesday at HC, Mary Ellen shared a photo journey of a two week trip visiting various intentional/neo-monastic communities along the east coast. I’ll see if she’ll post pics to Flickr and write up a thing about it for VC blog.

Peace.

Cloey Walking - Google Video

I found this video of Cloey that I uploaded last year to Google Video. So Cute!!!

I was on a blogging sabbatical for the first half of 2007, so no post last year.
