gabe & i met this morning for the first time in a long time. between starting a new state farm agency (him) and family (me), we had to put our weekly breakfasts on hold for a few months. it was clear that both of us had been missing the friendship, the sharpening, the conversation.

after catching-up, we squoze (or should that be squeezed?) in some seriousness amongst the jokes. mostly we talked about sundays vs. wednesdays. (or large gathering vs. small group, or whatever other terms one might use.) one reality of being a small church is limited human capital. there are only so many people/hours to go around. our conversation focused on how to best allocate our capital as the communities primary teachers. for me, i am excited to be moving back into ministry, getting back into the things we began last year with pathmakers. my summer hiatus dragged on as i waited for family situations to resolve (jeez, that is a crappy euphamism, but i just can’t bring myself to say it straight). well, it’s time to get back in the saddle.

church is missional community. it’s great to be a part of it!
