A Christian Churches guy trapped in a cappella churches but not 100% in line with either. Rough journey leaving Brazil and through a difficult church in New Mexico. Finding my way back to mission service. Check out my blog, that’ll tell you a lot about me. A Christian Churches guy trapped in a cappella churches but not 100% in line with either.

Good memories there. "Historians reflect the tenor of their times" is still ingrained in my brain. Ah….Dr. Muncy.

Between you, GKB and JAW, I found three inspirations to write my own blog. My first impression of you was positive because I had decided that any friend of Ray Muncy was a friend of mine.

New church in town...anyone familiar with the Gateway church? Seems there is one in Austin, one in DC and now one is being planted here in Cleveland. The leaders all seem to have some affiliation with Willow Creek. A shameless plug: http://stonebridgecrossings.blogspot.com/

It has been an amazing journey, and I can tell you that having open conversation with people online and in person enriches my life. The funny thing is, even if we disagree on many political or theological statements, most can put that aside for fellowship in Jesus. That is a good thing.

For lunch we ended up sharing a table with Sheryl Thomas, and Brandon came along later. Having been reading his blog for some time I felt odd in that scenario. I was there with my wife and a couple friends, and I was the "imitation insider" as introductory information was being given. Weird feeling.

When your servant needed a quiet, comfortable room to use as home base for a week's toil in J. T. Willis' and T. Thompson's "Exegesis" class this past January, well, suffice to say that a generous soul in this sector of the sphere consulted the spouse, whereupon they agreed, offered and followed through with some fabulous hospitality. Say what you will about the wisdom of intentionally hosting qb without plenty of security guards about, theirs is one good deed that will not soon be forgotten, either here on the Golden Spread or up in the heavenlies. qb Among the serendipitous joys of the blogosphere is an eminently practical one.

Maybe it's not so acute when you've been at a particular congregation for a loooooonng time, but even so...

His traveling causes me to rearrange my exercise schedule so that I am unable to stalk any local bloggers. That's one thing you may want to know about me. And, as Quile mentioned, there is WAY more than you want to know amongst the blather that is my blog. I do love "blog-friends", but, yes, it creeps me out when people start a conversation they thought we were having because of a post on my blog!
