As Brad and I have been discerning what is next in our lives, one thing we have been saying is that we want to plant another church. During his visit with his spiritual director this last week, she said, "As you talk about your desire it seems to me that rather than starting a church you want to gather a people". Oh, that so resonated in us! What will that look like? Who will it be? How will we fit together? I can't wait to see it happen.

Amy...any better?
That's awesome. I love it.
Can you get a non-profit license for a "gathering?" :-)
Of course! This was one of those things that just made our hearts leap. How are you? A week has gone by...is everyone doing as well as expected?
As far as I know, everyone seems to be doing pretty well considering. But we are just the family of the woman her dad married, if you know what I mean. We were not welcomed in with open arms just because they got married. They are keeping us at arm's length a bit. It's hard because we care for them and want to mourn with them, but feel a little shut out. It's a hard time of transition without the added turbulence of the death. We all just need time to adjust to being a family. It's tough. Toughest for them. I just keep praying for them. That's all I can do.
Yes :) Very nice.
