Ground rules for talking: pause after stating idea
We need to be organic, not have to portion our lives out.
Focus where your heart is. Don’t jump on Denver Harbor
bandwagon if your heart is not in that.
No fragmentation of life.

Theology Brunch
A few weeks ago, my senior pastor invited me to have breakfast with him and some folks he thought I should meet. One of those gentelmen is a leader in Bering Academy, a group of people looking to bring formative theological education and training to the lay community. As such many of our conversations have been about the impact theology has had on our lives and the directions of theology we are currently exploring.
As the weeks have gone on we have had a number of people come through and bring gifts to our conversation. As we talked we realized we wanted to do a better job of inviting people in, so if you are free tomorrow morning (Friday the 29th of October) come down to Cafe Brazil (Westhimer and Dunlavy) and have breakfast with us. We start to gather around 7:45 and the conversation normally picks up around 8am.
