Finding Ourselves
The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything.

Car Koan
I saw this on a bumper sticker the other day
and found it a beautiful thought to meditate on:
WAG MORE, BARK LESS

"The religion of love transcends all other religions;
for lovers, the only religion and belief is God." ~ Rumi
It was an amazing evening. Sponsored in part by the Rumi Forum for Interfaith Dialogue and the Amram Scholar Series, The Dervishes of Rumi whirled in the home of the Washington Hebrew Congregation-- perhaps the first time Dervishes have ever whirled in a Synagogue. It was an amazing evening of diversity and kindred spirits. Quite literally.
As i sat there with Heather (it was our "date night" -- some date, mmm? This is clearly the kind of date you get with a "God Geek"), she leaned close and whispered, "The Children of Abraham are celebrating together tonight." Indeed. What a woman. :)
"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field;
I'll meet you there." ~ Rumi

Planting a Church is Like....
Planting a church is like
trying to build a house while you are living in it.
No, wait...
planting a church is like
trying to build a car while you are driving it.
No, wait...
planting a church is like trying fly an airplane
while you are building it.
Yes, that's it.
A lot of what is necessary to get off the ground
only comes as you begin to get things together
and off the ground.
But not quite.
Planting a church is like putting seeds into the ground.
I have no idea what will happen here,
if things will germinate, grow, take root, and mature.
