meditatio at the water's edge

Today I had lunch with Jim Best and his family. What a great family! They are absoltuely beautiful as they interact and experience life together. Keep them in your prayers as they leave their current church positions and enter the world of missional & simple church.

On a related note, I am wondering how God is going to connect all of these conversations regarding the emerging church. I believe groups like Allelon are great! Yet, we need to find ways to have this conversation at the local level as well.

We too quickly forget - we have been in this conversation for a number of years, but many people are just entering it. We need to help them find on-ramps to this conversation as well.
