Here We Go

Here we go.

- We got together had dinner (which included lots of good wine).

- Talked about what we felt about church and what we might want to do.

- Talked about Brian McLaren’s book “The Secret Message of Jesus” we went through the back of the book and his suggestions for meeting – don’t worry we aren’t getting caught up on the structure part.

-We decided to read the book together and begin to look at some ways to reach out in the community. We all liked the idea of going to the low income senior housing building and spending time with the people there --Playing games, talking, bringing dessert. Just us and them, no strings attached, but just to be with them.

-When we get together again we are going to each talk about some the questions from the back of the book. Each person can answer whatever questions they want.

-We will each focus on the suggestions and opportunities from the book (I’ll write more on this later.)

-We know what we don’t want to be and now we are discovering, together, what we do want to be.

We prayed for each other and talked about some of our struggles and how we as a family can help each other.

We had pudding and watched Nightline.

Here we go… =)
