Chasing God

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings to search it out...Prov. 25:2

We've been travelling now for two weeks and two days, and so far, no major screw-ups. We're headed for a conference in Orlando callled "Releasing of Eagles" where John Kilpatrick will be speaking and Lindel Cooley will be leading worship--both from the Brownsville Revival which we attended ten years ago with our kids. We got thoroughly blessed there by a brand of radical Christianity we'd never seen before.

So, what else is new? Bo and Stanley being radical Christians? Oh yeah and we're loving it. God is so big and so wonderful and so unexpected. Everywhere we go we see him at work, whether on a slogan on the back of a semi-truck barrelling down the highway or the billboard in front of a little country church. I'm collecting those. Two of my favorites so far:

"We don't change the message, the message changes us."

"Need a lifeguard? Come on in. Ours walks on water!"

Gotta' love it.

Alrighty then! Not sure if this will be first of many or not. May be the first will be the last. Anyway -

Thanks to John Richeson for the site!

Greetings to all. I'm a little clunky at the various functions still, so haven't responded back to the various comments and friend invitations in a timely manner. It's great to see everyone that's here online.

We're alive and kicking, with two children who are adults now and as old as we were the last time we saw some of you. Life has gone on and is going well.

To capture nearly 20 years (we "left" the Way in 1989) would be impossible in a few sentences other than to say the greatest joy of our lives together has been raising our family and our larger extended families. We're fortunate perhaps in that we've all always been close and have continued to enjoy life together. Ups and downs, yes but overall the road looking back forms a beautiful horizon. The one ahead is filled with promise.

Whether we knew you or not, if you read this I hope you're doing well. You're remembered here as you "were", and always will be - "beautiful in God's sight".

What grows in the desert?

After the Irish Rebellion of 1798 a strange outgrowth of barley began to appear in clumps on the recent battlefields.

This was no phenomenon but a result of the Irish soldiers slain and buried that had carriedbarley seed in their pockets during the battle.

These barley patches where immortalized in the ballad by Robert Joyce “The Wind That Shook the Barley.”

These barley outcroppings became a symbol of Irish resolve.
