2 Questions

Several Years ago I read a book entitled Becoming Orthodox by Peter E. Gillquist.

I was left asking myself 2 questions after reading the book.

1. What does it mean to be the church?
2. What does it mean to gather as the church in worship?

I keep getting drawn back to these 2 questions. I believe they have short simple answers. I also believe that living out the short simple answers is the most challenging thing we can do with life.

If you would be so kind, take a moment and share your thoughts on these 2 questions.

Networked Blogs

Well,

Here it is, 11:51 on a Tuesday evening. The rain has stopped, the dogs have stopped barking and I have just extracted myself from Facebook. I think. Well... it has been a month since I peeked under the hood.

And lo and behold, Lisa Crum over at www.grow2sow.org/ sent me an invitation to something called Networked Blogs.

Looked so good I had to try it myself.

Now that people will be following this, I guess I had better do more with it.

This, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs, is that something more.

Have a good night.

By the way, I think that there is some link on the right, down towards the bottom now. Not sure what it does. I am waiting on one of you to click it. So, go on, have a click will ya.

woke up early

Here it is, Tuesday morning at 5:42 AM. I normally am not up this early. Maybe up this late, but not this early. I even went to bed early last night for a change, thinking I would get a full 8 hours. So much for that idea.

Think I will use this time to plot out the next few Salamander stories. What is a Salamander story? Glad you asked.

Once upon a time I worked at Kinko's. I was having an unbelievable slow night and I decided to write a story to brighten the night of Beav, the night shift guy at the store on the south side of town. You see, Beav was getting slammed. So I wrote the first story in "The Never Ending Tale of the Yellow Spotted Purple Polka Dotted Salamander". That was 1995.

Thought it was time to write another but the strangest thing happened. I began to consider the storyline and wouldn't ya know it, I have not one, but several story lines teasing my imagination. Sooo... thought I might plot out the next several stories on paper.

To read the first story go to www.b4eternity.com.
