It has been a while since I've posted on the blog, so I thought it was time I put some thoughts out. I just finished the book A New Earth. I know....and Oprah book club book....but I started reading it before it became part of the club. I'm grateful! Since the book....I've slowed down enough to have a chat with a deer, a bunny, and to not just smell the roses, but to hear that a tulip doesn't worry about not being a rose. The other great gift of the book is a Jesus that I understand. Who knew A New Earth could offer me a Jesus that seminary never introduced me to. Hello Jesus, it's nice to meet you....again! So, just a few thoughts to see if I could remember how to blog!
So this is my second attempt to post on my blog....first time on my own. Thought I would comment on the Christmas Gift of Hope that I just experienced this past week. As a gift from my parents and aunt, I got to attend the Emergent conference in Atlanta. This experience was really my first taste of practiced emergent world. What I found at the conference was a way to find comfort in my calling as a woman in ministry, a way to find hope for the future of the church, and a way to find God--in the wonderful simplicity of relationships. Thank you to all those who shared relationship with me during this time. Special thanks to MOM and DAD and Tammy for the trip...what a great Christmas gift of Hope that you gave me.
