Finally, back to blogging! I lost my login password and now it is found! Come, let's kill the fattened calf and break out the good wine!

Okay, it's not that big of a deal. sorry.

I met with the Ooze group folks today. We met some new friends there: Dean, Nick, Paul, and Evan (for a second). Dean and Nick were bringing up some crazy good stuff about how irresponsible Western Society (and the church as far as it has bought into the assumptions of consumerism, etc.) is and where things might be headed--and why some collapse might not be a bad thing. Dean was talking about Jesus people addressing the true needs of human life: air/breath, food, drink, covering/clothing/shelter, and community/love. Dean seems like one of those smart, quirky, passionate, green folks that I truly appreciate so much. Nick, so says Mark Riddle (my friend who it was good to see again), is one of those guys who hasn't read much in emerging church book circles, but is living it all out anyway. Nick's a long-hair who really 'feels it.' It was a good trip to the Urban Mill.

In other arenas, I just finished up the third session of this series I'm teaching at Jenison Christian Church. I've posted the text at my personal weblog (here). I don't know what's up with that site, though. It has been taking an inordinate amount of time to load the page. So I apologize if it takes forever to load. Just open a new window while it is working, or use it as a spiritual discipline to develop patience.
