LOTS TO TELL

Man, so much going on right now. We are in the process of saying goodbye to our congregation here in Findlay, and getting started getting moved to Nashville. What a weird series of events. For those of you just tuning in, My family and I (along with our small entourage) have decided to follow God's leading to Nashville, even though we have no idea what we'll do when we get there. We feel out of place, disjointed and detached from the body here, and it came into light when the elders noticed something was wrong. It's hard to grow and thrive in a ministry paradigm that doesn't fit you.....or is it that I don't fit it?
Anyway, God called, we're answering; the details will be of little consequence. There's some lesson to be learned, some experience or some knowledge to be gained, and we're going to go find out what it is. Fear, nervousness, sadness, anger- we got it all here, but we're going to go ahead.
Amid all of this, my brain has been in overdrive- I've read more books in the past 3 weeks than I read all of last year. The Emerging Church, Emerging Worship (both by Dan Kimball), Facedown (Matt Redman), The Book of God (Wangerin), and currently The Church in Emerging Culture (Leonard Sweet and others). And I wonder why I can't sleep at night. My paradigm has been shifted so many times it's doin' the electric slide. Good stuff. Yeah, so that's me today.
