Dreaming of Angels…

I had a dream last night about angels. I was flying around with them and looking into people’s lives. It was clear that we had specific jobs to do and that we loved doing them. The angels were funny…sarcastic actually. They were like people you’d enjoy hanging around with. You know, the kind of people that are good enough friends that you don’t have to entertain them. They’re cool to just be there.

I’m not really sure what to take from the dream. It was long and detailed, which feels important. I have no findings to report, but I did feel inspired enough to create a couple of desktop wallpapers.

Wednesday is for updates…

UPDATE * Finn is crawling (see video below)

UPDATE * My church, Vineyard Westside, has purchased the building we’ve been leasing. At this point, it’s an ugly, blank canvas…I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us with our new home. We’ve constantly reminded ourselves that a church is not a building, and that God can use any space to transform lives. We’ve seen that in action and we believe it wholeheartedly.

Now it’s time to leverage the gift that God has given us and fill this thing up with people every day of the week. Cooking, Yoga, and Martial Arts classes. Weddings, Funerals, and movie nights. I have to say, it’s nice to have a place we can call our own.

UPDATE * I have re-worked the “About Me” page on this blog…anything else I need to include?

UPDATE * Kelly is about to pop.

Kelly and Donny are due with their new baby boy any day now. Donny is in my men’s group and I’m really excited for him…almost more than a dude should be excited for another dude. I think I’m amped about this because I really feel like God is going to show Donny who he is meant to be through fatherhood. Nothing gave me the sense of fatherly love from God quite like becoming a daddy did.

Donny – you’re going to be a great dad. And Kelly? it goes without saying.

UPDATE * It’s kite season. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

A continual resurrection…

Is it really possible? Could the grass be green once again? Foliage? Warmth? It can’t be…can it?

We’ve waited impatiently for the return of spring. It was a long winter, but even still there were signs of creation mimicking the creator. Nothing stays as it is. There is no constant. Everything is changing…

A continual resurrection is at hand in the natural and the spiritual.

Spring, summer, winter, fall.

Birth, life, death, eternity.

He is risen, and because of that…so are we.
